SQL for Full Funnel Conversion

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How would you write a SQL query to find students who opened an email, clicked a link, and then submitted an application?

Use the provided student, email event, and application records. A valid sequence requires the click to occur after the open and the submitted application to occur after the click.

Output

  1. One row per qualifying student with student_id, student_name, opened_at, clicked_at, and submitted_at.
  2. Include only students with a complete valid sequence.
  3. Sort by student_id ascending.
