Am I making a bad choice?

So I don't study physics at a level and I'm applying to engineering courses, but then these courses don't require physics. But I'm still worried that I'd get rejected for not studying physics ygm?

Predicted A*A*A* (maths, english, philosophy)

Applied to:
ICL - design engineering (maths in A* required)
Bath - structural and architectural engineering
QMUL - design, innovation and creative engineering (maths or physics, so physics preferred)

Still choosing from:
UCL - engineering and architectural design (needs a portfolio)
UCL - civil engineering
Manchester - civil engineering with foundation year
Bristol - design engineering (preference for physics)
KCL - general engineering??
Exeter - engineering (got contextual BBB but not sure about their course)

And a safe option????

I've been applying to places for engineering with maths, further maths and Graphics design. If the requirements don't ask for it then they shouldn't reject you solely based on that. Make sure you have a very strong personal statement that makes you a good candidate for that course as you should be good. I applied for kings, surrey, city, UCL and ICL and have offers for kings surrey and city for engineering without having physics but I made sure to add things to my ps like experiments with Arduino to stand out.
