Is it considered quite late to apply to university between now & next week?

I completed everything early, in October, but my subject references have not been completed yet and i don't find that fair as i was ready to send off weeks ago.

Would the admissions tutors get a bad idea of me for applying late? Would you even consider an application being sent in the upcoming week late anyway?

Thanks for your time.

(But in reality, some universities do look favourably on earlier applicants. If you have a good application it won't be a problem though). What universities are you applying to?

Yeah that's what I was worried about, but i'm not sure it's true so I asked.

Here are the Universities i'm applying for to study Politics/International Relations:
KCL, Exeter, Birmingham, Leeds and Southampton

Do unis give more conditional offers than places on that course?

Sending my application off on sat, seen people get offers at the uni i want to go to. worried i have less chance of getting an offer because they applied first and got offers already so i have less chance of getting in because they have already given out one offer.

Does it work like that?
