Should I apply for as many credit cards as possible?

No, you should not, because it greatly decreases your chances of getting approved. Most lenders will look at your total unused credit on all your cards. If you were to max out all your cards, would you be able to pay it all off on the income you presently make? Lenders normally assume that you would not be able to.
