+1 what mountaindew wrote. Totally agree (in my previous post) that Discover prequals have been spot-on when there is a solid APR, and others on this forum who have been approved with a smaller range. Me, personally, I applied when I got a solid APR. The Cap One Plat is sub-prime, and it gives you nothing. It is an okay card if you're rebuilding damaged credit, but there are better cards out there for people new to this country with thin files. Good luck, op! 
From what understand, could be wrong though , if you get a close set on apr like for example 15% -18% , and not the wide range like 11- 23% , this would be considered solid?. I know i e gotten like 5 mailers with small apr ranges like that , not the wide range , and i still did not get approved. I know its a YMMV thing with Discover but in much more cautious with their prequal site or any offer from them. Maybe you need to get an exact apr for a solid approval?. Still learning, good luck Op

Aside from already suggested, I recommend get rid of the secured BOA, their unscured CCs are pretty entry level with nice rewards.

Discover prequal web site gets a (well-deserved) bad rap because it is deceptive. Most other sites, if they can't find a match, say something like "We cannot find a match but we think you might like....." Here, after entering totally made up data, it looks like I have been matched with the IT card. Yes, if I look down at the bottom I see a wide APR range, and we know, from here, that that means no real match was found, but most other users won't.
Now mailers with no APR range are more likely to be real. But that's not what the OP got
I agree, the Discover site is known for it's issues, but when getting something in the mail, that tends to be a different situation. You'd think they would fix that.
