UCLA Philosophy Transfer: EW (Excused Withdrawal) COVID 19

Hello,

Currently a first year at a community college. Right now, my GPA is a 4.0 but the spring semester especially in the wake of COVID has really hit me rough. I am taking as many of my classes I can as P/NP, but worst case scenario, I may have to EW from possibly all of my classes. Hopefully not. I may also lose TAP. However, I have my summer set up so that I will have at least 30 units done by the end of my first year. I believe that I can keep up my 4.0 til I transfer.

What are my chances of getting into UCLA philosophy as a transfer if my GPA is a 4.0, no TAP, average/below average extracurriculars, and a whole semester of EW? I can explain my reason for the EW due to covid, but I am still anxious if I have ruined my chances for admission.

Also, anything I can do now to increase or help my chances of admission?

The EWs should not hold you back. However, it might be good during the summer to add some virtual tutoring or virtually assist at a non-profit or something else community-oriented.

Okay thank you so much. Where could I start to look for those kinds of opportunities?
