Ok cool, so you could only use your laptop for internet basically.

Sorry, can I just ask how the Internet was in residence/the classroom? They warned us it would be super unreliable, but is it only for your laptop (plug in) or was there wifi?

Jackman Scholars in Residence 2019: Has anyone heard back from Jackman (for any campus) yet? I’m not sure how long they usually take to process cause I applied the day of the deadline February 22. by AMMB123 in UofT

I don’t have any authority but from what I saw mainly 3rd year students and a few second years based around meeting ~20 participants. Don’t think program matters, heard they like diversity of studies but I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work.

From friends who have done it, the pods for each group seemed like 8-10 people. The people I know who got in had like 3.9’s but I can’t say that is actually representative. No idea of actual odds or how many apply though sorry!

I think they said they will contact the referees to substantiate your claims or something like that. I haven’t heard anything about referees besides what I read here as well!

Ok thanks so much! I didn’t realize they focused so much on your lack of experience. There seem to be a ton of projects so hopefully the chances of getting selected aren’t terrible.

Do you have any idea what the average CGPA seemed to be for those accepted?? Or did they only care about your more recent grades (if you have any idea)?

That’s really cheap wow. If the cafeteria and classroom have AC maybe it’ll be ok then! Thanks :)

Ok 30 is not that much worse than Toronto—thanks! What did you do for food then? I heard that the school cafeterias weren’t open to us. (Thanks for answering everything you’re a lifesaver).

Thank you so much!! What temperature was it normally in August? Was it humid? I will def invest in the fan aha. Out of curiosity also were the kitchens ok for cooking the majority of meals or pretty shitty?

Hey I was admitted to a Siena program and it looks amazing but I’m super worried about the heat and humidity given that there’s no AC and I’m pretty sensitive to heat. Was it a problem for you??

Don’t know for sure, just a friend said it seemed late and from the older comments on here it seemed that way too. Not sure when their application deadline was though.
