Is 4 years after A levels too late to apply to uni?

In hindsight, it would have been a good idea but I didn't even know about the recent study requirement until today so I couldn't have asked them about it. From what I gather, there's the possibility that they could offer me a place on the course but with a foundation year instead, that's extremely unappealing to me but ultimately I might not have a choice. Like you said, waiting and seeing is all I can do now.
If they all came back as rejections, (which is a bit unlikely), then I would recommend an Access to HE course rather than a foundation year. A FY is tied to the uni delivering it, whereas an access course will at least keep options open.
But only something to think about when all the decisions have come back.

Honestly I couldn't afford an Access course and I seriously doubt I'd be able to complete one anyway in my current environment. A foundation year whilst being something I'd very much prefer to avoid would at the very least put me in a much better location.
This might seem like a stupid question but is there any chance the universities I've applied to will flat out ignore my application and not bother rejecting or accepting me?

Yeah, I appreciate that the FY would give you access to funding, just be aware it will effectively lock you in to that uni, (with some exceptions, but no guarantees).
Second question: not really. A handful of apps get to the decision deadline and get rejected automatically by UCAS each year, but the reality is that nearly all applicants get a decision, (especially in your case as you've applied pretty early).
