Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: Upper quartile
"Women are even more significantly included in the upper quartile of top business school classes."

¿Cómo interpretar esta frase? El 'upper quartile' (cuartil superior) sería por encima del 75%, ¿no?

Mi traducción es: Las mujeres están incluidas aún más significativamente en el cuartil superior de los que estudian en las mejores escuelas de negocios.

Gracias,
Broca

  -> There are only three. The third (or upper) contains the top 25%. // There isn't a fourth quartile. Trust me on this.
