College

Jackson-Cartwright attended the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) of the Ivy League after being heavily recruited by the school's coaching staff. At the time he was the highest ranked player by ESPN's basketball writers and other credible college basketball scouting services to ever commit to the Penn in its long and storied history. Miles was a four-year starter who served three seasons as a team captain. Jackson-Cartwright ended his career at Penn second all-time in minutes played (3,959), seventh in assists (358), ninth in free throws made (364), ninth in free throw percentage (81.3), tenth in steals (131), tenth in 3-point field goals made (155), tenth in 3-point field goals attempted (449), and thirteenth all-time in points scored (1,401).

A notable Jackson-Cartwright play is when he scored a three-point play on a dunk over three Princeton players including Will Barrett, a six-foot/ten inch center. The points were the last ones scored in the away game loss and the dunk made ESPN SportsCenter's Top Plays of the day on March 8, 2011.
