Absolutely. Some students show ability to do college level work through APs, some use CC credits. Either way, if you took challenging courses and earned good grades, it will help you.

My daughter came in with two years of CC credits from dual enrolling in high school. We found out at orientation that she had the most of any incoming freshman (when they mentioned the “highest number anyone has this year”, it was her exact number, haha.) I can’t say how much it helped her admission, as she also had a 35 on her ACT and over a 4.0, but we were always been told by colleges we visited for her and her older sister that it helped.

Michigan was extremely generous in granting transfer credit, too.
