Odds of approval for Chase Southwest?

I fly SW a lot; however, I do not believe that I would keep the card past the sign up bonus. I would like to move most of the SW limit to my CSP which I use for much more than my $5k limit and either switch the SW card or keep it for the 6k yearly bonus RR points. Plus, the CSP and SW card get 2x points on SW flights regardless, so the point value is the same.

My question is: what do you think my odds are of getting approved for this card as I have just recently apped for the CSP, BCP, and Hyatt in the past 2 months. One thing to note is that I made all of my Chase statements cut on the 1st of the month, so the Hyatt or CSP have not reported to my credit report yet. I called Chase and they said that the two cards will not report to my credit report until August 1st. Would it be more beneficial to just ask for CLI on my CSP for the hard pull?

I currently have 10 inquiries on my CR--7 will fall off in September/December. I do not want to app for another card for two years after this because I plan on getting a mortgage/graduating law school. Therefore, I plan to have no inquiries in two years. Fico score reported at 724 on my final app with the BCP. I only ever have one credit card show a balance (AMEX), which is below 5%. All other cards are paid off weekly.

Current Cards (MM/YY)
Chase Freedom (11/12) $5k
CSP (5/13) $5k
Chase Hyatt (6/13) $5k
AMEX BCP (6/13) $2k

Thanks for all the help! I have learned so much from you all!
