Vantage - Adsense validation

Hello all,

I'm about to launch my vantage site but wanted to get some feedback regarding your experience with the adsense program validation process.

I have a niche directory of 400 companies and sales venues around the country, which is the core of the website. I have at least 150+ words (well written sentences) on every listing, but of course some are almost exactly the same from one listing to another, as well as the logo and featured image used since the venues belong to the same companies and there is no real variation on the business description.

I am also writing articles, so far only a few but all are 100% original content and above the 500 words mark.

I can see some showcased website that are pretty similar and seem to have been approved by adsense. Is it "easy" to get the greenlight for a vantage directory site or the sometimes repetitive content on listings act like some kind of penalty? What is your experience so far, anything I should consider modifying right now or traps that must be avoided?

Thanks a ton for your precious feedback, I got rejected once at the beginning when my site was really fresh with 2 articles and only a few listings, which is understandable, but I hope the structure in itself isn't a problem.
