For the people who have been accepted, what were your GRE scores like? I will be applying this coming fall to some top tier programs and have built up a solid application, but I'm still a little worried about my scores. The first time i took it i got a measly 530V 410Q 4.5 analytical. After a year and a kaplan course later, i took them a second time and got a 610V 580Q and a 4 analytical. I know I have the time to take them again, but i'm not sure if it's worth it. I don't want the fact that I've taken them multiple times to hurt me. I've e-mailed several programs as to whether they look at the best score, frown upon multiple attempts, or take the most recent, etc., but only 1 school ended up responding, unfortunately it was the vaguest answer. Any thoughts on the topic would be greatly appreciated!

congrats to all the people who received acceptances. I will be applying this fall and am curious if anyone is familiar with the History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture and Art program at MIT. The HTC site does not specifically state if their PhD program is a combined ma/phd program or just admits candidates who already possess an MA . I hear they only let 1 art history track student in a year, but there is a professor there that I would love to study under. Any info would be great. Thanks!
