Biology at Oxford

Can you apply to Oxford for biology without taking Chemistry A level and if so is there a high chance that I will get rejected because of this.

I currently do Maths, physics and biology is this combination alright or not?

Yes, you can apply to Oxford for biology without A level chemistry- maths and physics are both considered acceptable alternatives as per the stated subject requirements.

I also doubt you are any more likely to get rejected than someone with chemistry as one of their A levels. Just make sure you are well prepared for the interviews and you have a strong UCAS application.
