Calculate offer, acceptance, and overall conversion rates for an internship cohort.
When to use Internship Conversion Rate

How to use Internship Conversion Rate and understand its results
- Prepare the text, recorded observations, aligned figures or editorial criteria requested. Confirm what each label, count, timestamp or supplied flag represents before interpreting the result.
- Enter internCount, offerCount, acceptedCount using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read offerRatePercent, acceptanceRatePercent, overallConversionPercent. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| internCount | Intern count | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
| offerCount | Offer count | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
| acceptedCount | Accepted count | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
Enter nonnegative integers with interns≥offers≥accepted. Return all three percentages. A zero denominator yields a zero placeholder rather than an undefined ratio.
offer%=100offers/interns; acceptance%=100accepted/offers; placement%=100accepted/interns Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| offerRatePercent | Offer rate (%) | number; minimum: 0; maximum: 100 |
| acceptanceRatePercent | Acceptance rate (%) | number; minimum: 0; maximum: 100 |
| overallConversionPercent | Overall conversion (%) | number; minimum: 0; maximum: 100 |

}Limitations and assumptions

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
