AS physics?

So I had to retake year 12 due to health problems and had my heart set on chemical engineering.
I want to go to ucl as its in london and a good university. However they require physics to at least AS. I currently study maths, chem bio and English lit. I've asked my college if I can do physics AS next year and they've agreed but I'm starting to have second thoughts as I haven't even done physics since gcse (two years ago) and I don't want studying physics to bring down the rest of my subjects.
Should I just concentrate on my 3 A2's (maths, chem and bio) and forget about ucl or should I study AS physics?
Thanks in advance for any help :smile:

nothing from gcse physics is even related to a level physics (srs)

I think you shouldnt take physics as it will jeopardise your other subjects results. You can do a lot with those A2's because they keep your options open(those specific subjects) You could do something else at UCL?

I really want to study chem eng. UCL is just a bonus because its pretty close to where I live and a good uni.
I'm just worried I won't be able to handle the pressure. Other good universities such as manchester and birmingham don't ask for physics..maybe I should just apply there.
