<prompt> Human: I applied for 3 credits cards within a couple days. I got denied by the first 2 and got approved on the 3rd for a low credit limit. How bad will this affect my credit score? Im in the process of trying to build my credit. Thanks for any input.  <response>: Since youre building credit and your history is young, the hard inquiries will look bad at first. Dont panic! And dont worry about these hits to your credit. They will stop affecting your score in a year and fall off your credit reports in two.Just focus on not spending more than you can afford and paying your statement balance in FULL every month.
