That's not how the UC application process works. You apply to the UC system but each school reviews applications independently and without knowing which other schools you applied to.

It is quite possible (although unlikely) to apply to UC Berkley and UC Merced but only be accepted to UC Berkley.

It’s theoretically possible, but given that UC Berkeley is impacted in lots of places and Merced is under capacity everywhere, not plausible (actually, given certain system-wide guarantees, its far more likely to apply to Berkeley but not Merced and still get offered admission to Merced than to apply to Berkeley and Merced and get offered Berkeley and not Merced.)
