Outstanding GPA, pretty bad GRE results. Seems the letters of recommendation and the writing samples made up for the latter.

@Harvard interview post below. Multiple professors have listed on their personal websites that the entire department does not conduct interviews. However, a couple of posts on this chain say they received emails to interview. Perhaps those people can elaborate, but it is my understanding that interviews are not standard for art history at Harvard.
