Switching from Bio Natsci to Phy Natsci at Cambridge

Hello! I developed a passion for Physics after my A-levels and I self-studied all Physics and Further mathematics a-level topics. Is it possible to switch from Biological natural sciences to physical natural sciences at Cambridge? (Not completely tho I wish to take Chemistry Biology of cells and Physics if possible) Thanks!!

Not entirely clear what your situation is here - are you saying you self-studied Physics and FM AND took the respective A levels (so essentially you have the pre-requisites for Physical Natsci) , OR you took a set of A levels not including FM and Physics, THEN self-studied Physics and FM but don't hold those A levels and somehow expect Cambridge to accept that?

The latter…the career advisor of my school told me once it might be possible to discuss with the DoS but at the same time I am not quite sure about it…
