Shared Review
- David Corrigan • Bioinformatics Data Scientist • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
I joined NYCDSA for their 12-week bootcamp in fall 2018. I had graduated with a PhD in biology that summer, but I was looking to improve my data science skills (which were limited to basic knowledge of R) to work towards a more quantitative scientific career. My decision paid off, as I am now working as a bioinformatics data scientist after a relatively short (~2 month) job search and interview process.
NYCDSA has a great deal to offer to anyone looking to move into data science. They provide excellent career counseling throughout the course and connect students to a large number of opportunities in many different fields (finance, marketing, biomedical, business operations, etc) through in-course talks/panels, and a very large career/hiring event after completion. The career guidance is an invaluable aspect of the course.
During these 12 weeks, I learned more than I thought possible. I was one of those who considered trying to teach data science to myself. After doing the bootcamp, I would now discourage this for the following reasons: 1) The projects: You will complete 4 thorough projects, with experienced instructors and TA’s, which will serve as a critical piece of your resume during the application process. *I specifically went through my projects and code while interviewing for the job that I ultimately accepted. 2) The aforementioned career guidance, which was so indispensable. And 3) You will learn far more efficiently here than you would on your own. There is simply too much material to learn in such a short time – without knowledgeable instructors who know how to plan and execute a curriculum, you will take much longer to master the same amount of material.
Be warned – the course is very challenging and will require a lot out of you. It is designed, and is most effective, for driven individuals looking to push hard and create opportunities for themselves in the data science field. A small number of the students were frustrated by the amount of content and workload, but in my opinion, NYCDSA is teaching you as much as you need to be competitive as a data science candidate. Read other reviews from people with no coding experience who were hired as data scientists – this is only possible because of the challenging 12-week curriculum offered here. Bottom line, it’s a great career move if you are properly motivated – I highly recommend it!
- Rewarding and challenging experience!- 5/14/2019Eric Adlard • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
The NYC Data Science Academy is an amazing place to get started if you are looking to make a transition into Data Science.
That being said, you really need to do the pre-work before the boot camp and having math and stats knowledge is very helpful. The program is very challenging and covers a broad range of material to get you exposed to the vast realm that is 'Data Science'.
You will work with great instructors who are extremely helpful and really care about the students. If you put in the effort it is truly a transformative experience. I could not have landed my most recent job without the skill set I acquired in this boot camp. Finally, you will also make a few friends along the way with your great classmates :)

I attended the immersive 12-weeks bootcamp during fall cohort 2018. It took me a while to write this review because I am busy but happily working as a Data Scientist, solving exciting and challenging data problems.
The instructors are very attentive and helpful. If you are Math/Statistics background, it would help a lot during the bootcamp. But the instructors make sure you understand the theories through well-designed course structure, examples and practices no matter what your background is.
Not only do they teach you on data science and technical tools, but they also offer exceptional advice on searching and interviewing for jobs. Their support is amazing and is what helped me get my current job. Special thanks to Luke and Vivian!
The immersive program was intense but I also learned a lot from fellow students. I made a lot of great friends through the bootcamp. You get to know people from various academic backgrounds and industries. You would learn how they formulate solutions to data problems in their domain, which are always enlightening. Shout out to team JLP aka team Ostrich Pillow!
- Great bootcamp- 5/8/2019Mimi • Data Analyst • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
The bootcamp provided absolutely everything we needed to boost our resume and give us the skills we needed to start out as a Data Analyst or Scientist. I was offered a position and started working immediately after the bootcamp, and it was due to the resume tweaking and data analysis skill set that I obtained in such a short time.

I attended the 5 week Python course with Anthony Schultz . The syllabus was extremely comprehensive and provided a very well structured approach to Python and its applications. Anthony was a fantastic teacher and effectively covered a wide range of concepts and topics in a short time period. I enjoyed the weekly homework problems as well - they cemented what was learnt in class and really made me think. I feel a lot more comfortable in my coding abilities and would highly recommend this course.

New York Data Science Academy & Python for Data Anslysis and Visualization
This course was not only extremely cutting-edge for all of today's industries and work areas but it gave me a great deal of confidence to continue my data and computer science studies at the next level. This course has actually inspired me to not only enroll in other NYC Data Science Classes but also think longer-term about continuing graduate level work in CS. This was my first class at NYCDSA and all I an say is I am extremely grateful to have had Dr. Anthony Schwartz as an instructor. Anthony kept the material vibrant and fun with colorful analogies that made the subject matter easy to digest and remember. This allowed for both an esoteric understanding of what was happening "inside the code" coupled with real-world applications that began to streamline and automate a lot of my day-to-day work right after Class 1.
I cannot day enough good things about NYCDSA and Dr. Shultz !!

- Not for everyone, but can be really great.- 3/18/2019John • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
This is perfect for you if you already have some coding and math background and want to tie it all together into data science. The instructors are invested and clearly know their stuff, but with this kind of material you really need to apply yourself and study on your own to gain a complete understanding. You will acquire a good foundational understanding of machine learning techniques, but I think even more valuable is the broad (though in some places not super deep by necessity) exposure to lots of different data science and data engineering tools (R, pandas, AWS, Spark, Hadoop, Keras). The field is huge, and this is a good place to start. You can go a lot of different directions with the knowledge you gain here.
- Fantastic Bootcamp- 3/13/2019James Lee • Data Analyst III • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
Fantastic Bootcamp. I was able to gain a solid fundamental on Python, R, and Data Science skills. I was able to start my career and advance quickly in this field.

I could not have been happier with the bootcamp experience I had at NYC Data Science Academy. The staff was incredible and does an amazing job of designing a curriculum and creating an environment for a broad range of participants to develop their data science skills. They are constantly working to update the curriculum and are very open to feedback.
I gained a great deal of confidence with both the theory and applications behind supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods, data analysis, statistics, data visualization, and big data tools. I became very comfortable with both Python and R and completed four projects that were enormously helpful come interviewing time. Post-bootcamp, I received several job offers as a Data Scientist that I was very pleased with.
Perhaps most importantly, should you decide to attend this bootcamp, you'll be joining a constantly growing alumni network. There will be endless opportunities for networking, corporate training, and engagement.
I would highly recommend this bootcamp to an aspiring data science professional.

Not only does the bootcamp have deep connections with a multitude of firms, but they also setup a networking event for recent graduates to meet potential future employers which is how I ended up finding a job.
- Deep Learning- 12/20/2018Navin Krishnakumar • Applicant • Course: Deep Learning with Tensorflow (Weekends and In-Person Only) • Campus: New York City • Verified via GitHub
Deep learning course conducted by Jon offers a great learning experience for people starting with their journey on deep learning. Jon starts with the basics and gradually moves on the advance topics. The topics are shared well in advance so that we can prep ourselves before the class. Jon mixes the intuitiveness and the mathematics on the topic in a balanced way. As part of the course, Jon also encourages everyone to do a project and offers great support. My only piece of constructive criticism (which by the way is not at all a criticism) would that the last class is a bit heavy content wise and hence breaking it down a little would be something to consider. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to someone who wants to start with deep learning.
