Do "letter grades" matter vs. overall GPA?

Basically what i’m asking is, for a semester grade (only thingt that shows on transcript), does it matter what you got letter grade wise?

Like if someone took 5 classes and got all B’s and ended up with a 3.5,
vs. someone who took 5 classes and got all A’s and a few C+'s with a 3.5?

I’m asking because I posted my chances on the chances forum, but I didn’t list individual letter grades. I listed my GPA as a 3.4 overall and people told me michigan is a high match/reach. Would that change if they found out that I got C’s junior year? Like, would michigan become a major reach for me with the same GPA, but with C’s?
