I had current student loans and no baddies which I'm sure influenced their decision. Of course I don't know your situation but they will approve with no other CCs. I got a relatively low limit, but that was to be expected.

By the way, do you have any negative information on your report? Chase does'n't like to see major derogatory events on your file.
