I'm doing biology, chemistry, and maths a level. I have recently taken an interest in archaeology, and although it is possible for me to apply for it at uni, is there any hope of getting into a top uni ( like oxbridge)? Let's say I get three A*s and that in my EPQ

Yep - there is definitely a chance.

Oxford doesn't ask for any specific subjects, but says a background of arts and sciences is useful. I'd just recommend having clear artistic/humanity-based interest shown in your personal statement.

Cambridge also doesn't ask for specific subjects.

Hmmm I hope the lack of humanities in terms of a levels doesn't have too great an affect, I've only just started considering archaeology at uni.

Thanks :smile:

Maybe consider doing an archaelogy/humanity based EPQ to make up for it?

I'm pretty deep into doing one that's mostly chemistry based :-( I'll definitely consider it though
