Seems like a good way to break into the field. I was accepted too and looked through the released syllabus after digging around a bit -- they do a good job integrating computer vision, sensor fusion, and path planning. They have some cool perks like being able to run your code on a car and running driving simulations. I don't think it will get you to a job by any means -- at most an internship. It does seem like a good foundation to have for jumping into more advanced topics though.
