If I file bankruptcy (not to include student loans) is it likely that I can get *private* student loans later?

I have seen many people here ask if they can get student loans after a bankruptcy, and I have seen many people answer that yes, it is possible and the federal loan application process does not consider bankruptcy. However, I need to know if a private lender (such as Sallie Mae) follows the same rules (i.e. doesn’t consider credit or a bankruptcy) in the application process? I live in California.
