No AS levels

Due to dropping a 2 year course after the 1st year (an AVCE) I have no as-levels (dropping after 1 year means i received nothing). I only have 3 (4 inc. General studies) A-levels and many universities that I am looking at mention 3 a-levels along with 1 as-level for their typical offer. Would it be worth me applying to any universities like this?
Thanks

You might be okay because although your 4th subject is general studies, even oxbridge accept general studies as a 4th subject

from the cambridge website:

'General Studies and Critical Thinking A levels will only be considered as fourth A level subjects and will not therefore be accepted as part of a conditional offer.'

You should be okay. As said above, General Studies normally counts as a fourth subject anyway.
If you have 4 A-Levels, most places should be satisfied.

AS levels on their own don't count for a lot, with 4 A-levels you should be fine

I only have 3 as levels but I'm not hugely worried (although I am a bit!). Manchester say Additional AS levels are "welcomed" (as well as the three A levels). They don't, however, say it's a pre-requisite.
