Here to learn more!

Hey guys I have been lurking on these forums for a long time. I am currently a college student and have my own pretty little collection of cards. My real fico score from chase, experian i believe was 726 last time i got it. Is this good for a college student? When i first started with 0 credit cards and only student loans on my account i was denied for a card i cannot remember and it showed my score from a bureau at 680-690. I think it is coming up from that pretty well ?

 

 

I had my oldest brother add me as an authorized user so it should be showing up soon, his card has been around for 8 years and he has a second with that company so it also added me to a 2012 card. This should raise my average age of accounts.
