Cal Poly and Virginia Tech are your two best programs out of that bunch.
If you go to Cal Poly you will have connections and prospective employers all along the US's western coastline.
If you go to Virginia Tech you will have connections and prospective employers in Chicago, Washington DC, and Virginia (and vague connections to the surrounding areas).
Syracuse is your third best program on that list.

I would say that depending on the which Cal Poly your accepted to would make a difference. Cal Poly Slo is more renowned compared to Cal Poly pomona.
Based on Faculty and relevancy, I would go with
Cal Poly SLO, more technical but solid program, highly employable and workforce ready
Syracuse- lots of new exciting faculty and new direction under Speaks. Take that money
SCI-Arc, not a university but they have some awesome faculty and facilities.
USC- historically solid undergrad program, have both the technical and design side, on a nice campus but in crappy area of LA . Trojan network= jobs
Virginia Tech- not even relevant these days, whats even going on there?
IIT- nice money you got there, but the school is stuck in the ice age.
