Seriously, if you are 1/7 on applying for CCs, the problem is that you are doing something wrong. When you apply for a credit card, you should more or less know if you will be approved. Applying for cards where you have no chance of being approved only hurts you. Of course nothing is 100%, but if you are 1/7 you should probably reconsider your strategy.
