What subject are you applying for? Some courses don't care any year, while others might be more lenient this year with Covid restrictions going on :smile:

Ooh I'm not an expert on that unfortunately, but I'd say given the circumstances you'd be perfectly fine to show your interest and enthusiasm for the subject through other means (e.g. books, lectures, videos etc. and what you took from them/what they led you to look into or want to study more).
