A/a prep course is great exp. Alvin is awesome...but they fall short on alot of things
1) They are the most expensive prep course-$2,999.00 …….(hack reactor’s prep by the way does the pre-course work with u so u can just join after is $250….FullStack is $650)
A/a has great teaching the they take the time to go thru everything with u but u learn a lot less topics..
2) $2,999 roll over to the immersive course is pretty much a loss as well...They nev...
A/a prep course is great exp. Alvin is awesome...but they fall short on alot of things
1) They are the most expensive prep course-$2,999.00 …….(hack reactor’s prep by the way does the pre-course work with u so u can just join after is $250….FullStack is $650)
A/a has great teaching the they take the time to go thru everything with u but u learn a lot less topics..
2) $2,999 roll over to the immersive course is pretty much a loss as well...They never tell u the fact that it doesnt roll over unless u do the deferred payment plan which is $28,000, the $2,999 doesnt roll over if you do the upfront playment plan which is $17,000. So you the roll over is only valid if your willing to pay $11,000 more.
3)They are very limited they skips concepts like testing recursion things which are need to get into hack reactor and full stack.
4)The guarantee to get into the top coding bootcamp always includes a a bootcamp that is very easy to get into and sometimes may not even require a technical interview.
A/a Immersive Review
1.) Even though they claim to update their CURRICULUM according to industry trends it hasn’t really change much. After speaking with alumni from A/a they themselves have told me they would have rather learned full stack javascript…and that it is easier to find a job with full javascript rather than ruby….
heres are two link on industry trends….

2.) Their CLASS SIZE is one the largest of the coding bootcamps in NYC…this is what I saw when I was there and what their instructor and students told me when I asked…Now does it matter YES absolutely now they will say we have a good teacher to student ratio but that only because they hire their own grads to as TA which isn’t really the same as instructor….second on hiring day you have a 60 -80 of your peers in competition with u to get into a company….. Hack Reactor has less 30 students per cohort and they do this on purpose to bring out great quality grads…full stack is less as well I’m not sure on the exact number..
3.) CLASS HOURS App Academy is open 24/7 BUT their daily schedule is Mon to Fri 9a.m. to 5p.m……Hack Reactor and full stack is Mon to Fri 9 a.m. -8 p.m. and Sat 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
4.)TUTION …App Academy had recently switch from 22% first years salary to a flat 28,000 on the deferred payment model…which is ludicrous…they they say its because of state regulations... but 22% of 100k salary job is not $28,000 even if u have a 100k job u really only bring home about 70K…this ridiculous that they would charge such a high amount.
Most of my friends from the prep after learning all these thing would not attend App Academy. I also spoke with the prep cohort after ours almost all of them after going through the prep and finding out all these details decieded not to go. we all felt A/a was shady for leaving out the detail about the 2,999 not rolling over on the upfront payment plan.
if u have any question u can email me at theonetwothreefive123@gmail.com
