Cambridge HSPS Application

My A levels are Sociology, Politics and Psychology, since i don’t do english lit or history, would this seriously disadvantage me?

If you look at the Cambridge website, it will state the most common A-Levels usually taken, but that doesn't mean you have no chance. If you have the grades for it, there's no harm in applying!!

not doing history disadvantages you yes but maybe you still have a chance.
my history teacher told me that for HSPS, History is a 'Champion's league' subject and Politics is a 'Premier League' subject- they like politics but it isn't as useful for HSPS as history.
Take what I say with a pinch of salt though as I am not an HSPS applicant
