Yeah, I mean, come on, look at how unlikely it is that labour will win the election, it's not like they're a big party or anything.
Look at these poll stats!

majority of people backing them in opinion polls...
Answering your question, I'm applying for uni this year (year 13) and like you, I think I might feel slightly uncomfortable as a 20 year old applying for first year. Also, the uni you're applying to, perhaps depending on the course and uni itself, might want to know what you've been doing over two years (although they might not care - I'm not that well informed on the subject!)
Having said that, you would imagine that there are a significant number of people who apply for courses as graduates or when they're older anyway and obviously you'll still be meeting people in your age group. I shouldn't think it would make that much difference at all.
But anyway, would it make a difference, seeing as you pay for university per year anyway? That is to say, would you still be paying £9k a year throughout your course if you start in 2015 then fees are reduced to £6k a year in 2016?
I also imagine that if labour do get elected, they would follow up on this policy. There's no way that they can afford not to.
