^straight from the adcoms mouth, cornell is need blind for intl students, they just do not offer any need based aid to them.

For future clarification need blind means that the institution does not use need as a means of determining an admissions decision. Need blind has nothing to do with whether or not the institution actually meets that need.

Cornell WILL NOT meet that need. There are only about 15-20 hypercompetitive scholarships available for intl students, and it is merit based.

Also TOEFL is not an determining statistic in ones admission as far as you meet a benchmark score. If you do meet that score, the adcoms will place you in the pile of other intl applicants, if you do not pass that score, the adcoms will throw your app out. After that initial determination though, the TOEFL has no weight whatsoever.
