I can’t find much on this forum about people who have received this scholarship and was wondering if anyone here would be willing to share their stats. I will be applying this upcoming fall and think I maybe be able to get a full ride.

I have a 1490 SAT and about a 3.9 UW/ 4.2 W gpa.

For what its worth, my son got the Amigo Scholarship with a 1490 SAT and a lower GPA.

I think you have a decent chance as long as you have a lot of extracurriculars, leadership experience, volunteering etc.

For reference,

My sister applied ~5 years ago with about 3.95 UW/ 4.3 W GPA, 33 ACT and didn’t get it. She didn’t have super extracurriculars. She did not get it.

I did not bother applying for Regents last fall because I was pressed for time and didn’t think I would get it anyway. I had 3.9 UW/ 4.4W GPA, 33 ACT and decent ECs.

We both got Presidential however. So again, if your ECs look as good or better than your GPA/test scores, I think you may have a chance.

I got Regents although I didn’t think I would. I’m a homeschool student graduating at the end of junior year, but most of the grades on my transcript are dual enrollment classes. The rest of my grades are from homeschool coursework.
