It's fine for all universities except Cambridge, where you would need a third science. Have a look in the Medicine forum for further information about medical schools.

As above, if the 3rd subject isnt specified, it can literally be anything - all the Uni is interested in is the grade. So, don't worry about what you think 'looks good' or is 'relevant', pick the A level subject you will enjoy studying as that is where you are most likely to get a good grade.
