Score Recovery After New Account Add

I've just recently added 6 new accounts to my profile and my Fico score has taken a hit... What has been your exp in regards to how fast your score recovers?  Mine dropped 20 points with all the inquiries and the new accounts..

6-12 months without apping and positive history should get those points back and maybe some more.

Gardening is in your best interest you have alot of new credit and the last thing you want to do is spook your new creditors with more apps. The longer those INQ's age the less it impacts your score and the longer your accounts age the better your AAoA gets and that raises your score.

I was just wondering about that until you answered it... I'm going to manage what I have for now and keep fingers crossed..

I'll find out next month. The first of three apps last year hits one year old in March with the next in July,and then December. (2 auto, 1 cc). I'll give you an update when possible. I am expecting 10 to 20 points upward.)
