TOEFL myth

[ximetmongrut]

I was told by an English professor that if you get a massive grade in the TOEFL ibt (110-120) you might get offers from universities, like financial aid or scholarships...

Is this true? They can actually find out about who got the best English scores and offer them these goodies???

Partially yes, TAship are partially based on the good score in the TOEFL. I don't know about other departments in the CS department of RPI (which is good enough), they offer an admission offer without interview for who has 114 or more (including an assistantship).
