british_student - I guess what I am saying is that GRE scores can keep you out of a department - they are an easy way to cut down the number of files. I am pretty sure that even my colleagues in political theory use the quant GRE score as a quick screen of candidates.

And Homestar - I apologize, I misspoke about publications. I was thinking of a particular case I remember of someone admitted with a co-authored article with their advisor but without high GRE scores, but in general at least in my department we screen files with test scores first.
