FEB 2013- 570 score ... 6/3/2013 - 700 score/ Cleared to Close on my first House at the Age of 25

I just received my Clear to Close on my first house today.  USDA loan for 200,000 @ 3.5%, NO down payment and No closing cost.  I would never thought I would put myself in this position from a having a credit score of 570 in FEB 2013 to closing on my first home at the age of 25 on June 2013.  This is unbelievable

Current Score: 576 TU MyFico 576EQ My Fico???
Goal Score: 720

Well basically all I did was PFDs, Goodwills, and open up a couple of credit cards.  Pretty much all of the stuff that people say do on this forum.  I was just suprised of how quickly my score shot up.  Buying a house was not on my mind unitl March 2013
