If denied a loan, which of the following changes to your application process will not increase your chances of approval when you re-apply?

Applying for a larger loan amount generally makes approval less likely because the lender would be taking on more risk and you would need to qualify for a larger payment. Increasing your income, adding a cosigner, or paying down debt can strengthen your application. The correct choice is “Apply for a larger loan amount.”
