I'm trying to get into the program, working my way through your pre-req courses. I do a lot of self studying on the side, but don't have anything to show for it on Udacity. I'm shooting for 33% completion on the 3 Ai-related courses before the application date. Do you think this looks better, or would you rather see I go for a 100% completion on one course?

I would optimize for completion. We'll be looking for students who've shown they can aim for end to end completion in the program. Hope that helps!

If I didn't complete related courses on Udacity but relevant advanced courses on edX/Coursera, like MIT's Underactuated Robotics, would that be OK as well?

[dhruvp]

Yes! Those count as well. If you see our application we specifically mention courses from Coursera and EdX as well.

What about folks who have taken no online courses, but instead have MS/PhD degrees with a specialization in related areas (Machine Learning) and want to use this course to get into the self driving space?

Also, what will the workload be like? Can this be done on evenings/weekends while holding a full time job?
