The "Are my grades good enough for Maths..." Thread

I would like to study maths at uni and I'm currently taking AS levels in maths, further maths, chemistry and physics. I scored highly in my maths exams 90%+ but I'm struggling with physics. Let's say I get a bad grade in physics and drop it, will I be at a disadvantage?

No it won't have a huge effect at all. I did maths, further maths, chemistry and Dt at AS, dropped dt and still got all my offers for maths.

I've been lurking in this thread for a few years but had to chip in haha. I eventually rejected all my offers (long story) but Manchester was my top choice for maths. I got my offer with equivalent predictions as you. I felt the same about Liverpool, when I went on the open day the talk was in some weird dusty cellar with sellotaped signs so I just thought - is this department funded at all?! I also applied for Sheffield and they had this weird 'already got an offer but come for an interview' interview where the lecturer was quite rude to me about my A level choices. Weird day.
