How are joint accounts handled when it comes to DTI?

I am an eternal pessimist, and need to anticipate the worst, so assuming our loan application with Wells Fargo gets denied, how long do I have to wait to apply by myself?  My girlfriend and I have applied together.  She makes about 10,000 more per yr than I  do, but my credit scores are better.  I'm afraid we will get denied because of her scores.  I'm just concerned about my DTI and how much I could get approved for.  We have a car in both of our names.  Our monthly payment is $548.  Will the total amount of the payment be included in figuring out my DTI or just half of it?  We also have a personal loan together from our credit union, so I'm assuming whatever the rule is, it will be the same for both. 

 

Thanks in Advance
