NYC Data Science Academy offers 12-week, accredited data science and data analytics bootcamps in New York City and live online. NYC Data Science Academy is a nationally accredited Data Science Bootcamp in the U.S that teaches both Python and R. In the program, students will learn beginner and intermediate levels of Data Science with Hadoop, Spark, Github, Docker, SQL, R, and Python packages like XgBoost, Caret, Dplyr, Ggplot2, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and more. The program distinguishes itself by balancing intensive lectures with real-world project work and the breadth of its curriculum. The academy is well known for its industry project-oriented learning experience and well-immersed community established since 2013.
Students will work on at least four individual or team projects showcased to employers through private hiring partner events, student blogs, meetups, and film presentations. The academy also offers strong lifetime career support such as tech interview prep, mock interviews, unlimited mentorships, and 1-on-1 post-interview reviews and feedback from career mentors to help students ace their interviews.
I was a member of the January-April 2016 cohort, and I have fond memories of the experience, difficult and stressful as it was. The instructors and TAs are overqualified and brilliant, and Christopher Makris gives the broadest and deepest lectures that time affords. Zeyu is a magician. I would call it comparable to a master's program in machine learning, if the student puts the necessary additional time for self learning and independent study.

I was a member of the January-April 2016 cohort, and I have fond memories of the experience, difficult and stressful as it was. The instructors and TAs are overqualified and brilliant, and Christopher Makris gives the broadest and deepest lectures that time affords. Zeyu is a magician. I would call it comparable to a master's program in machine learning, if the student puts the necessary additional time for self learning and independent study. The bootcamp was one of the most informative, rich and interesting experiences of my life, but it comes with several caveats. For one, this isn't grade school, so you are expected to learn from trial and error on your own and be comfortable with mastering theory as well as execution. The staff are there as a complementary resource, and shouldn't be relied upon 24/7 as a crutch for lack of ability to work independently. In other words, you get out of the bootcamp exactly what effort you put in, and you should be able to figure out the gaps on your own.
This brings me to my next point, probably the only complaint I have with the bootcamp--the lack of selectiveness in admissions. Management is responsible for choosing a group of students that befits the brand exclusivity, and in my view admissions is not selective enough. This may hurt the camp in the long term. Several people came from non-technical disciplines and were very much able to learn quickly, but there were a couple who saw the instructors are their own personal tutors and significantly slowed the lecture process for others. If you have to ask a question every 10 minutes that interrupts the class schedule, or spend hours with TAs only to forget everything and have to repeat repeat the personal tutor process again, you should not apply here. It's not fair to other students. You will monopolize instructors' valuable time. There is no magic fix for becoming a data scientist, and after school age you should be able to learn on your own. In the age of the internet, there is no excuse for not being able to use Google. What I noticed from our cohort was the less someone knows, the more they talk. This is more a problem of the admissions officers/CEO than of the students who do not fit in; they should foresee these kinds of problems in the interview process and make sure that whoever gets in is technically competent. People who see this as a quick entry to becoming a data scientist should also be aware that not everyone who learns to program will be a good data scientist, and you won't simply be offered a job afterwards. What is instrumental in your career post-bootcamp are your original skills and experience. It is not a way to expedite the job search if you have recently become unemployed.
The interview process post-bootcamp is also autonomous, and you shouldn't expect to be given many interviews automatically unless you manage to find contacts on your own. Your projects are your own personal portfolio, and being self reliant on your ability will serve you better in the long run.
To summarize, the main lecturer is brilliant, an amazing teacher, who covers as much as possible in the limited time. You will learn more than you ever expected. The TAs are a major resource, but the main weakness is the admissions process. And lastly, if you can't learn things on your own, don't sour the bootcamp for others. There are many online courses, such as Coursera, which will be better for you.
