Studying computer science

I initially started college with the idea that I was gonna study medicine so I picked biology,chemistry, geography and core maths. However my thoughts have changed since then and I’m looking to study a computer science degree but I’m pretty sure it’s too late to change subjects as I’ve been in college for two months now. Would I still have a likely chance to be accepted for cs with the subjects I have already chosen?
Yes this is fine.
Most universities do not require cs as an a level subject. However maths is usually required.
For example oxford requires A*AA, the A* being in maths, furthermaths, or computer science. So as long as you get that A* in maths you can get the A s in any other subject and be fine.

However it would be very useful to show your interest in computer science by taking extracurriculars such as online cs courses which you can find easily on EdX, codecademy, etc. and mentioning this in your personal statement and stuff
