What is your review of App Academy?
The App Academy interview was surprisingly simple. Kush asked me a single questionfizzbuzz. I got it right and was rejected. I had even run it in the console while talking to him, so I was sure. I asked what I could do in order to make it into the next class and was saddened to hear that I wouldnt even be considered.

Dont get me wrong. At the time, it was painful. I had recently moved back to the US after years abroad in Taiwan and then China. I was dead broke. I had seen what an incredible instructor Ned was and Id seen some of the progress the first class ofApp Academystudents had made. Iwantedin. So much so, that I went to over a dozen banks trying to get the loan that would make it possible.

There are a lot of great bootcamps out there and people are successful coming out of all of them. Trust me I know people from basically every one in New York.
Does App Academy allow rejected applicants to apply again in the future?
That was a good thing, in the big picture. My herculean efforts succeeded and I managed to secure a loan for enough money thatHack Reactorinvested in me and gave me a generous tuition deferral for their Jan-Apr 2013 class. Their instruction was absolutely top-notch and I ended up with job opportunities that, to the best of my knowledge, were well beyond the scope of what students in the App Academy class that refused me had. Beyond that, the network has been absolutely phenomenal. Graduates are entering YC start-ups and blue chip tech companies left and right. For recent classes, Google and Yahoo have been interviewing just about everyone. It would be very surprising if the HR network doesnt include a few hot start-up founders within a couple of years!

He could definitely be the manager of his peers when they graduate from college next year.
I dont know anyone who got rejected personally. But I actually do know someone who got kicked out. And it turned out fine for him. He is working as a Java developer. So not getting App Academy is not the end of the world.
Yusuf was 20 years old and driving a BMW while some of his peers are just finishing up college with most of them having loans to pay off.
I respect the abilities of the App Academy staff, particularly Ned, and I have to give them props for telling me about the existence of competing programs. That said, my life is probably better than it would have been if theyd accepted me.
