Having trouble re-renting property

Currently, I'm having great difficulty finding an excellent tenant to move into my house. The tenants in the home currency will be moving out at the end of this month; August 1 is the first day my property will be available for new tenants to rent and move in. I've had the property listed for eight days now and have had many inquiries. The issue is that after I prescreen over the phone, I send the prospect my rental application to fill out and send back. Not one of them has sent it back. I've got to be doing something wrong if I'm sending the rental applications to several people and not receiving them back? I don't charge for my application, but I'm wondering if I'm too aggressive and stringent on the application. I have important things BOLDED and set in ALL CAPS and have many words UNDERLINED and use exclamation marks.

Could this be turning off the prospective tenants? I'm just trying to make things clear and keep myself safe from getting a bad tenant. Any advice? I have my home listed on Avail. Co, which syndicates to Zillow.com, realtor.com, Hotpads, and a couple more sites. I have a "For rent sign" posted in my yard as well. So far, it's been just prescreening over the phone, sending applications, and never hearing or receiving anything back.
