The cards tell you the average scores and the minimum scores needed. Just do a little research on this site.

If your in the 600's then I would suggest Orchard Bank.

Don't go for Orchard Bank unless you have to, they have high APR's and hidden fees on a lot of their cards. Try www.creditcards.com  You can do a side by side credit card comparison.  You can also do a card match.  You just type in your name, address, and SSN and they will pull credit cards you are most likely to get accepted by.  You can even complete the offers online.  That should help a lot.

Noooo!!!  I would discourage a suggestion of Orchard Bank for anyone in the 600's -- maybe less than 600.  I would start with Capital One's Standard Platinum.  Cap1's been opening the doors to those rebuilding.  To get a better idea of which cards you're more likely to be approved, I suggest going to this web site and sort by your Equifax, Experian, Transunion, or Vantage score and read reviews from other card holders http://www.financeglobe.com/Finance/credit-card-status.shtml
