Your chances are not that great -- but you have a shot. You are right to target the lesser UC schools -- especially Merced. I think your chances of getting into Berkeley or UCLA would be very small. Your math scores & grades may get you in -- so do try. Good luck. PS -- make sure you use Spell Checker on your essays. You need some help there.
