<p>Hello there, I am an incoming senior in high-school and was just wondering if I can take these classes and get the Stanford Certificate of Conpletion without actually competing to win the trip to Stanford. </p>

<p>In other words, can I take those free Udacity classes for my “fun” and not really to win the trip.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
