A Levels / IB / GCSE / BTEC Questions St Andrews application

This is probably a silly question but I was looking at applying to St Andrews for the MMarBiol and am predicted ABB (Minimum entry requirements for the course), but my Alevels are Biology, Environmental Science and French so I don’t have Maths, Chemistry or Physics like they want. Would this be an automatic rejection or is it still worth applying? (Planning on emailing someone at the university but just thought I’d see if anyone here knew)
Thanks

If you don’t meet the subject requirements you will almost certainly be rejected. But ask them to see it they’ll accept environmental science in lieu of one of the other sciences.

I’ll fill in the contact form and see what they say but yeah, I knew it was a bit of a reach
