I really dont expect to get into Berk, UCSD, Washington or Michigan, honestly only applying cause parents want me to. However, I'd love to hear what other people think of my chances at these other places.

If you pull off the A in Real Analysis and send the updated transcript, then I bet you get into over half of the places you apply if you're applying for a Masters, but you'll most likely be funding yourself. My only suggestion would be to consider Michigan Biostats over Michigan Stats... However, if you're open venturing off the West coast, I'd also consider Minnesota Biostats and UNC Biostats.
