UPDATE ------

Tried the automated number the last few days to hear the status of my application. After two days of  "your application is under review..." I received this one today, "CONGRATULATIONS, your application has been APPROVED!!" ---- That is a wonderful message to receive.

THANKS for alllll your comments and insight. Incredibly helpful!!

I will be posting this question on the boards shortly but I suppose I will ask the genius' here too : Would it be OK to apply for one more card. I was thinking the Barclay card!?!? ---- happy fo your comments, please!

Your young, they are praying that you are a dumb grad student who will miss manage your credit and they can keep you on a hook for the long haul. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, take care of your credit, and take advantage of the credit they give you. Pay your bills on time, not even a day late. You are soooooooo ahead of your peers if you keep all your accounts good. No bottle service in Vegas or South Beach at Spring Break, just because the credit is available. I did that party crap, at 18, then again at 25, and at 34 am just getting back in control of my financial house.

Oh yea, this number for Chase is the best, thank you guys. The woman who answered gave me a chance to explain my EX report, asked me some questions, then re-ran my credit through TU ( which I had told her was my strongest score). She said her self, that she couldn't believe the big score and report difference, she said that she would recommend me for approval, and all they needed were a faxed copy of my ID. and Soc. Sec. card, same as I had to do to get my first Cap1 card. EX is killing my score by taking their time removing 4 derog student loans that have been paid on time for 15 months, and since removed from TU and EQ for three months now. Cross your fingers for me.

Just used the chase back door number very nice young lady helped me, explained that EX (weakest score) was taking a very long time to remove 4 student loans that are in good standing for the last 15 months, as well as reporting wrong personal info. Explained job loss due to company going out of business. Asked her to pull my TU ( Strongest score) report to verify, she said she couldn't believe the vast diff in report and score. She typed for a few seconds, then out of no where, BAM 

Her: "Ok Mr. B., I just requested you be approved, please send in your identification verification in the form of two ID's"

Me: Ok, how long should I wait to re-apply if it gets denied?

Her: "Oh no sweet heart, I've already approved you, I see that you just had a little trouble in the past, but you pay your bills."

Thank you every one, would have had no clue without this site.
