Admission stat quartile

[pijush71]

Dear All

This is a great forum. So thanks to all who make it possible. I was going through the admission stat web page and saw that 2 tables for GPA and GRE scores have 1st quartile, 2nd quartile ... 4th quartile. What do these mean?

Thanks
Pijush

1st quartile is bottom 25%, 4th quartile is top 25%
