Idk if this helps but someone in my school doesn’t do physics or fm or cs and got a Cambridge interview for it. May not mean much as Cambridge interviews 70% of people but maybe try worst that can happen is rejection

If your predicted grades are high, and you think you'll be capable of scoring decently in the ESAT and do good preparation to ensure you do, it's definitely worth applying.

Different foundation year courses have different requirements to be eligible for them. It might be worth having a look to see if any apply to you?

Imperial says on their website that they want an A* in maths, and AA in 2 further subjects. They don't care what subjects you do - as long as you achieve AA in them. They will not prioritise someone who does physics, fm or CS over you purely because of subject choice. 👍
