Asking about Return Offer (RO) rates for interns

Question

Is it appropriate to ask the recruiter what are projected RO rates for the summer before the internship actually starts? How might I go about doing it?

I think that's a reasonable question to ask, even if you may not get a straight answer. If the recruiter doesn't tell you, it's worth asking (1) full-time engineers and (2) former SWE interns at the company.

Keep in mind that history doesn't always reflect present-day conditions, e.g. during COVID in 2020 summer, most return offers were canceled entirely. Sample phrasing:

I'm curious about historical return offer percentages among interns? Is there a certain number of full-time slots available for interns?
