DD has recently applied for accommodation at Bath - who knows if she will get the grades required since even with exams she was going to be touch and go. The teachers would probably give her the grades, but the general downshift that is rumoured by the exam boards would not.

(her school is not a school that excels at exams generally, so any adjustment for the school's past performance would be downwards)

But she figures that with all the uncertainty - so many of her friends are going to take gap years - she has the best chance ever of gaining a place. People taking a gap year may find a lot of competition next year.

She is not a social animal - and has loved and relished lockdown. As a result - she is the rock of her friendship group - which she has found an unusual position to be. So don't think the lack of freshers week etc would bother her too much.
