Do admissions officers know about Cal's grade deflation?

I’m not doing premed, so good for that. I want to do something in IR. I’m considering going to an IR grad school or law. Also I don’t want to do the GPA-sneaking way. I want to study something I like: Polisci or Anthro (though Anthro is one of the GPA-sneaking routes). How hard is Polisci?

The reason this is important to me now is because I want to transfer. No offense to UCB, but I don’t like CA. I want to transfer to Columbia or Brown, but I hear Berkeley has high grade deflation, so I don’t want that to screw me over.
