Computer science needed A levels oxbridge? HELP

Hi I’m in year 11 right now doing my GCSEs. I’m hoping to do a cs degree or something related to maths. What a levels are the best for a university especially Oxford imperial UCL etc. I’m looking to do Maths, FM, and maybe physics (maybe) is it possible I can substitute physics for a subject like economics. Also will I be at a disadvantage if I only have 3 alevels. I would really appreciate if a student/graduate from one of these top unis gives me their a levels they had completed to get in. Thanks 😁

If you look at the Entry Requirements section on the following links, you will see that three A levels is the requirement and your subject choices should be fine. For Imperial, physics is a 'recommended' subject whereas economics is a 'useful' subject:
