count me in Merced

I received an email saying that I was eligible for the UC Merced count me in Program and I was rejected from 3 UCs and waitlisted at Irvine. Does this mean that I won’t be taken off the waitlist for Irvine or is there still a chance? Should I try to appeal my decision? Either way I wouldn’t mind going to Merced but I would much rather go to Irvine if possible.
