DATA SCIENCE BOOTCAMP ALUMNI
FEATURED ALUMNI STORY:
Alison Cossette
Alison came to Metis with 10 years of healthcare experience and a desire to integrate that with rigorous data science training. She's now working on data projects that directly impact patients' healthcare.
read her story hereThis is the best educational experience I've ever had. I actually learned things from people here, not just me googling around to teach myself to pass a test. People care here, and not just a few, but the entirety of the cohort, the instructors and the students, I don't think I've ever experienced something where the whole organization cares about you to the degree that Metis does.

GREG FRIEDMAN - Data Science Engineer, VaynerMedia
All of the instructors are really qualified and are really great people to be around. The knowledge difference is night and day. All that remains to be seen is how long it will take me to become employed. If that number is < 2 months, then I will look back on this as one of the best decisions of my life. No matter what, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Metis.
JASON SYPINEWSKI - Senior Analyst, The Weather Channel
Metis truly is the best of the best when it comes to data science education. I took some big risks enrolling in the bootcamp program, and I leave it with zero regrets or doubts about my decision. The combination of learning, practical application, and tremendous support staff guiding you along the way cannot be beat.
ERIN DOOLEY - Research Analyst, NYC Department of Education
If someone is looking for a career change into data science, they could not get a more supportive and helpful environment than Metis.
GINA SOILEAU - Data Scientist, The Orchard
What I loved most was the quality of the course and the ridiculous pace. I wouldn't have accomplished nearly as much with self-study.
KEVIN CHANG - Data Scientist, IBM
Metis was one of the best choices for learning Data Science for me. The instructors challenged us to get comfortable learning on the fly and getting creative with our projects.
EMILY HOUGH KOVACS - Data Scientist, Spotify
It was an overall great experience. The classroom instruction, project work, and resources offered through the career counseling and continued alumni support is invaluable. I was exhausted every day, but I woke up looking forward to every day.

FEATURED ALUMNI STORY:
Andre Gatorano
After graduating from the bootcamp, Andre was hired at Blitsy, where he works on a number of projects aimed at helping both the company and customer maximize their digital experiences on the site.
He talked about his various experiences before attending the bootcamp, saying that, "upon reflection, the only thing holding them all together was my interest in the problems that data science gives you the tools to solve."

FEATURED ALUMNI STORY:
Nathan Cheever
"Data science doesn't mean a thing if it's not communicated effectively," said Nathan.
We agree, and we're excited to see him putting that belief into professional practice as a Data Visualization Engineer at Ancestry.
In this Q&A, he talks about his day-to-day workflow and how his bootcamp experience prepared him for it. He also provides useful advice for anyone considering a data science bootcamp.
"It won't come easy at first but that struggle is where all the learning is," he added.

KARL SLUIS
I've been singing the praises of the course all over New York City, you may find more friendly faces that I've encouraged to take the class show up in the near future!
INTRODUCTION TO DATA SCIENCE
LAURA PEDERSON
The class was an excellent introduction to this topic, and I now feel so much more prepared to continue learning about data science on my own.

MARY TAFT-MCPHEE
One of the better programming classes I've taken, great balance between theories and details … Great examples to work on and good pacing for a diverse group!
INTRODUCTION TO DATA SCIENCE
LINDA FU
The Intro to Data Science class provides a great overview on Data Science topics. [The instructor] clearly explains the main points and always takes extra mileage to help us to understand the issue whether in the class or after hours via group chat. I am really impressed on the lectures and have learned a lot from this intensive class.
