The NYC Data Science Academy bootcamp is everything I hoped it would be. I entered as a recent Mathematics PhD unsure of my job prospects and left well prepared for the data science job market. I was offered a job within weeks of graduating and now have a great job as a data scientist.
The bootcamp is an intense experience that will reward you if you put in the appropriate effort. The lectures are fantastic and the instructors are incredibly helpful with your projects. They will offer you as much help and guidance as you want (they were, more often than not, there before me and were still there when I left).
Job placement assistance was also crucial to my success. I met my current employer through a bootcamp and felt more then prepared during my interviews. You really feel that you are given individual attention and they will do everything in their power to help you find a job.
Some tips to prospective students:
NYC Data Science Academy was a fantastic introduction to the world of data science. I still stop by the offices to say hi to instructors and students and discuss life. I would make the decision to join the bootcamp again 10/10 times.
I really enjoyed the R course with instructor Amy Ma. The content is very practical. It can be directly applied to solve real-world data analysis problem. We had many in-class coding exercises, which helped us understand the R syntax.
Also, Amy tried her best to provide a lot of useful resources. We could tell that she is very passionate about what she is doing, and she is patient with students. We could reach her after class through email, even the course was finished. I highl...

Also, Amy tried her best to provide a lot of useful resources. We could tell that she is very passionate about what she is doing, and she is patient with students. We could reach her after class through email, even the course was finished. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in data analysis and wants to learn R from the beginning.
I really enjoy taking the R course with Amy Ma. She's patient and thorough. Her analogies made it easier for me to understand the R syntax. I really like the in-class coding exercise and it was good to practice what I have learned. Amy's class is very interactive. She doesn't just talk off the slides.

The NYC Data Science Academy's 12-week bootcamp is an intense, well-thought out and comprehensive program that accelerates one's immersion into the world of data science. Having worked in IT infrastructure consulting for 8 years at one of the Big Four, I wanted to shift career orientation and focus more on data science, elements of which had begun to interest me over the course of several client projects.

Recommendations for aspiring students:
Overall, very positive experience. I can't speak to the job placement assistance as I returned to my original firm, but regardless, I'll maintain the great relationships built with the Academy.
NYC Data Science Academy (NYCDSA) provided the platform to pursue my dream career. The curriculum is well thought out, with detailed notes, hands-on projects, and great hiring partners. NYCDSA gave me the tools to be come a data scientist, and the exposure to land the job. Truly one of the best investments I have ever made!
NYC Data Science Academy's 12-week bootcamp was a life-changing experience. It was an intensive 3 months but definitely helped me transition from healthcare to data science.
Comparing against other bootcamps, I decided to go with NYCDSA for its thoughtfully planned schedule. From the large volume of content to the scheduling of each day, it had what I needed to succeed.

NYC Data Science Academy's 12-week bootcamp was a life-changing experience. It was an intensive 3 months but definitely helped me transition from healthcare to data science.
Comparing against other bootcamps, I decided to go with NYCDSA for its thoughtfully planned schedule. From the large volume of content to the scheduling of each day, it had what I needed to succeed. Each day consisted of lectures with really useful slides and concluded with time for homework and projects in the afternoons. The allocated time in the afternoons gave us time to digest what we learned and the homework assignments reinforced the new knowledge.
Coming from a background in biomedical engineering and biological sciences, I was used to being told everything I had to know. The bootcamp gives a lot of information with its detailed lectures but also challenges students to find their own answers. For example, a homework assignment had a problem mentioning a function that was not mentioned in lecture. We had to research it and learn how to use the function before we could do the problem. This taught me how to be resourceful and find answers on my own instead of relying on someone to tell me everything. Because data science is a growing field, you cannot expect to learn everything in a short period of time but should know how to find solutions on your own.
Being challenged to learn may sound intimidating but it really isn't when you're surrounded by supportive peers and staff. The staff are extremely hardworking and friendly. They stay late, sometimes even until 11pm and they love what they do so they won't be grumpy or annoyed at you. They also come in on the weekends and will help with homework assignments and projects if you require it. The TAs are excellent resources who are passionate about data science and motivate you to always do better.
Advice: Try to familiarize yourself with the suggested R and Python readings before you begin the bootcamp so that you can spend less time trying to understand concepts and more time on the data science parts.
Even after graduating from the bootcamp, I still feel like family around them. The instructors and staff do not forget you and continue to help with your job search. Vivian actively connects you with resources and posts jobs you may be a fit for. She also holds coding review sessions so that we are better prepared for interviews.
Job Prospects: Besides the countless data scientist and analyst job posts found online, NYCDSA hosts a hiring party at the end of the bootcamp that connects recruiters from multiple companies with students. It gives you a big opportunity to speak with recruiters and build connections. I interviewed with one of the hiring managers from the event and got an excellent data scientist job approximately 1 month after graduation. You have other opportunities to stand out from crowd when Vivian reaches out to her contacts and sends in your resume so you're not just another applicant in the pool. There are tons of jobs and the support from NYCDSA is outstanding.
I have no negative memories of the bootcamp besides the late nights spent on projects but you get as much as you put into the program. Overall, the bootcamp does a good job preparing you for a career in data science as long as you work hard for it. Your peers will be your friends and consultants for your data science problems. I would join another cohort at NYCDSA if I could!
I took the data analysis and visualization with R class in June. The lecture and presentation was very thoughtful. The instructor was very helpful. After taking the course, I can actually pick up some skillsets like doing some descriptive analysis and creating some plots. But more practice is needed outside the classroom if you really want to get something from the course.
Overall, I would recommend the course to people who have some coding experience and would like to learn more...

I finished the bootcamp yesterday. I have a BA with honors in Math, an MA in Applied Math, and an MS in Civil Engineering. I have 8 years of work experience in both the private and public sectors. I committed to this program to help me transition to becoming a data scientist. I had minimal professional programming or statistics experience when I applied.

Having completed the bootcamp, I see the value in Vivian's approach: by working at capacity among such skilled staff and focused students, my skills and knowledge developed quickly. Overall, this bootcamp worked well for me and I'm glad I did it.
This is an awesome program you will not regret attending!
I was in the Jan-April 2016 cohort. The course covers everything you need to know to apply for data scientist jobs. We started from the fundamental of stats in R, and moved into machine learning in both R and Python. In the last two weeks we also got a fair exposure to big data tools like Hadoop and Spark.

The instructors we have are AMAZING!!! They are super knowledgeable and also very passionate about data science. TAs are the most hard working group of people I know! They really try their best to help you. Students at the bootcamp are impressive as well. Most of them either have a phd degree or have significant/successful work experiences prior to joining the bootcamp. We did five projects during the bootcamp which you can totally show off during your job interviewsss! And you will have a least a few job interviews guaranteed during/after the bootcamp. They really tried their hardest to help you preparing and securing job interviews. I personally had at least 5 interviews while I was still in the bootcamp, and was hired only two weeks after the bootcamp ended.
The program wasn’t easy, you will have a ton of homework and projects to do, but they are always there to support and help you. I would recommend this 12 weeks bootcamp to anyone who wants to be a data scientist or simply interested in data science.
This course is ideal if you already have programming experience. I had experience with Matlab and R, so this provided the answer to the "how do I do that in Python" question. If you have never programmed before, go through Learn Python the Hard Way very thoroughly before enrolling. You will get the most out of this course if you have already learned basic programming concepts and can therefore focus on the intent of the course: data analysis and visualization.

The class teaches very practical aspects of Python and data manipulation and visualization. Often we know what question we want to ask and maybe even already have the data, but need to get it into a form to analyze and present visually. This course was good at preparing you for that. Little time was spent on cleaning data, most was spent on learning Python and manipulating data and how to visualize it.
The instructor, Liz, was easygoing and personable, which made it very easy to ask questions. She was also knowledgeable about the topic and could give insights into what it was like to actually use these tools on a daily basis. I enjoyed having her as an instructor.
I'm only giving it four stars, which to me means very good, because five stars to me means truly exceptional. In order for this course to be truly exceptional, it would need to ensure all students were up to a certain standard in Python, allowing the class to go into the data analysis and visualization much faster. Given that the students in the class had extremely different backgrounds and levels of programming experience, I was very impressed.
In conclusion, if you are using other tools like Excel and have some programming experience, I recommend this course as a good way to move your work into Python to take advantage of its speed, flexibility and packages. I was able to create visualizations of crime and weather data I got from the NYC Open Data site in only a couple hours after taking this course. Well worth it!
I took both the intro to data analytics and the machine learning course, both using R. Both the instructors Luke and Shu went out of there to answer emails and help me get a better understanding of the field. I'm new to data science and computer science and after the course, I felt very comfortable using R and discussing machine learning and data science with other individuals.
Well, i could have learned much more things by finding a good book and reading it or taking online course which would've been much more chaper as well. First of all if you re beginner at python , this course deffinetly is not for you . You get very brief information in the lectures and you have to figure out rest by yourself. I took this course just because i didnt have time to learn by myself and i thought they will actually teach me , not pushing me figure out by myself but obviously i ...

It was very bad idea to pay more than $1500 and take this course.It doesnt worth at all !
