I too will chime in! I attended App Academy as well, as a fulltime student in New York a couple years ago. Between my cohort, the cohort before and the cohort after, I would say it was something like 80% of people were placed in fulltime jobs by three months. I was one of the last to be employed (we graduated in late Feb, I was finally working by the end of June). A few people had jobs before the whole 12 weeks were up. I can't say for sure about salary, but it wasn't drastically lower than advertised.


80% sounds really high. Other bootcamps seem to be in the 30-40% range within 3 months.

Also, I find it suspicious that App Academy seemingly isn't taking part in CIRR.


I experienced the exact same thing. Their customer service rep directly denied it.

Three or so months after listing it I still receive a call like this once a week or so.


classic hacker news thread on new tech: i only learned negative things.

:/ second dead one. Must be time sensitive? not sure.
