Who this list is for
Every university here requires Math but not Chemistry. It's the broadest of the three filters: the math-only schools plus the Math + Physics group — engineering-leaning universities where Physics is the science that matters and Chemistry is skipped.
If Chemistry is your weak subject, note the split in the table: the math-only schools free you from both sciences, while the Math + Physics group keeps engineering paths open if Physics is a strength.
Honest coverage note: we have verified structured subject requirements for 151 of 359 universities. The other 208 are NOT listed here — absence from this list means "requirements unknown", not "not eligible". Requirements can also vary by program; always confirm against the university's official notice.

Fewer subjects means each one counts more
If a university only tests Math, your Math score IS your application. Start practicing where it matters most.
Frequently asked questions
I'm good at Physics but bad at Chemistry — where should I look?
The Math + Physics rows on this list: engineering-leaning universities that test Physics but skip Chemistry. You get engineering-track options without your weak subject ever appearing on the paper.
How reliable is this list?
Each row comes from structured requirement data extracted from official admission documents; rows marked "source verified" carry the original document excerpt in our database. Requirements can change year to year — always confirm against the university's current official notice.
