The admit rate breakdown according to your GPA and SAT scores:
SAT math: 24% of freshman admitted in 2006 had 600-690
SAT writing: 14% of freshman admitted in 2006 had 500-590
SAT reading: 15% of freshman admitted in 2006 had 500-590
GPA: you fall right on average (4.13) and 55% of freshman admitted in 2006 had 4.0 or above.
My recommendation would be to: 1) take the ACT test at least once to see if you can get a better score, see: http://www.actstudent.org/testprep/ for test info, and 2) write an excellent personal statement to highlight your leadership ability, motivation to achieve, and initiative. Berkeley publishes a guideline on how to write your personal statement which is applicable to all UCs: http://students.berkeley.edu/files/Admissions/Personal_State_07.pdf
In regards to your personal essay, please: 1) do not submit what you wrote for the "college essay" assignment for your senior English class; 2) do not have your fellow students or your teachers proofread it; instead, ask your parents' coworkers or friends (preferably someone who went to UCLA), someone who doesn't know you very well to proofread it. The reason is that the essay is supposed to give the admissions officers a complete picture of who you are, what you have done, and where you want to go/how you want to get there. Only someone who doesn't know you very well can evaluate whether your essay has accomplished that.

Yes. Most likely is yes. With those scores...it's pretty high. And, but, they look for other stuff too. Not just these scores. They'll look at your school record, interview you...rarely for UCLA. And other stuff. But if you keep your good character, you'll get in. Just relax and go with the flows you'll go through. When it's over and you're accepted, it all paid off. But, yes, mostly, they'll let you in.
Good Luck.

colleges more and more are getting away from just selecting admissions from sat scores
they do look at them but a looking for a well rounded individual who participates in extra curricular activities and
has varied interests
doing volunteer work helps also
they are not just looking for bookworms
but yes you probably can get in
