They are all peer schools and will give you more or less the same opportunity set , but Ross and UVA are significantly cheaper for in-state students so it would be a no-brainer if that was the case. If it isn't, then go wherever you you feel you will fit best.

I would say though that as early relevant work experiences become more and more of a must have and a deciding factor into IB recruitment, you'd have significantly more opportunities to do part-time internships during school and get relevant experience at GTown than you would at Ross and UVA because of location.
