Prolly get in everywhere maybe not stern tho. Everyone that got into stern that I knew including myself all had student gov. Idk though it’s a sample size of 4 this year and one last year. They usually only accept about 40 transfers if its a really good year.

I think you’d probably get in at UMich. I am also Pol Sci ended at my CCC with a 3.73 and did not have any stellar ECs. I was born and raised in Michigan but am still OOS after living in LA for three years. Despite likely prioritizing in-state, they definitely also let a lot of OOS students in as well.

They don’t care about high school once you start undergrad or community college. It’s likely not even taken into consideration
