What are my chances like to get into Oxford Maths?

For context: in year 12 I got diagnosed with a really severe genetic autoimmune disorder, which caused me to become bedridden for two years. Due to this, I missed my A-levels, but now I have fully recovered (it won't occur again as I have been fully cured) I have applied to university this year and will be doing my A-Levels alongside the MAT.

Do you think universities would mind that I couldn't apply like normal due to illness (which, to emphasise again, has been cured) in year 13, and instead I missed year 13 and then another year after that and now I am applying?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Mention this in your PS. Oxford contextualize applications and take into consideration any breaks in your education. Applying to University is a lifestyle choice. Ppl of all ages apply to university. They're more interested in A' level grades (or equivalent) and your motivation for wanting to study your chosen subject.
