Getting my first apartment

Hey Gang,
 
Today I have an appointment to fill out an application for my first apartment.  I'm only 21 and when i was 18 destroyed my credit.  it was 400.  Now that i'm 21 and have school loans and a real job, my credit score is 614.  On this website myfico.com my score is 614.  On www.freecreditreport.com  my score is 562.
 
Both reports hold the same information.
 
Anyway.
 
I know i'm a medium-high risk person.  I have no renting history and i have no debt.  All my bills were paid off and i'm now 2 months AHEAD on my school loans.  Except the negative aspects of my credit are the most obvious.
 
Haven't had an open account for more than 3 years and had only one collection...which has been paid off may 2006.
 
Do you think i'll get denied this apartment because of my low credit score?  Even though I have no debt or no negative renting history?
 
please help me ASAP!
 
Thanks,
Greg

Welcome, please read the Scoring 101 thread. I am guessing you should be able to get an apt.
