(1) Stanford's location is obviously a big factor due to my goals, but has HBS closed this gap over the past few years? Since they've put so much focus on the Rock Center/Innovation Lab/etc.
Can't comment here really, the perception is still the same with Stanford being the #1 entrepreneurial school, I would also consider the relative reputation of H and S in the south. My gut tells me Harvard travels better outside of the coastal cities.
(2) Would it be worth talking to H or S regarding my decision and financial aid, or are these schools' need-based scholarships non-negotiable?
Yes, they may not care but tend to listen when it comes to decisions related to each other so its worth a shot
(3) Assuming I am eligible for at least 'some' ($ or $$) need-based aid from H or S, is there any scenario in which Wharton/Booth should prevail in this decision (i.e. if I can negotiate more money)?
Not in my opinion
