Warwick engineering

I quite like the university of Warwick and was hoping to apply for just general engineering however I don’t do physics I do chemistry maths and economics and my predicted grades are AAA with the rest of the courses I’m applying for being chemical engineering, should I bother, do I have a chance?

You will be rejected if you don't have physics as it is a required subject. Use your choice for another uni.

You could still consider applying, although not having Physics might make it a little less straightforward. Warwick General Engineering includes some physics-based modules in the early years, so admissions might look more closely at whether you can handle that content.

Your subject combination is still reasonable for engineering. Maths and Chemistry are both useful, and AAA is a strong prediction. It is difficult to say for sure what the outcome would be, but it does not seem impossible based on your subjects and grades.

If you genuinely like Warwick, you could keep it on your list. In your personal statement, you might want to explain your interest in engineering and how you plan to cope with physics-related material.

Overall it seems worth a try, although the result cannot be guaranteed.
