    I only applied to UCL for that course so i can comment only related to that place. I am not sure if your gcse grades will be okay, you should better email them and ask. About maths, if you're not doing it, you may be at a disadvantage because engineering has a high propotion of maths and physics involved in it. I'll recommend you keep Chemistry, Physics and Maths for A'levels and Biology too if possible. You'll need an amazing score in them to compensate for your gcse result. UCL is pretty competitive, they only have 40 places for this particular course, so they give an interview only if they believe you are good enough. In fact what i heard they interview around 50-60 people, so most do tend to get the offer.

    I have heard Bath is pretty good for the same course. What i will recommend you is to go for Chemical engineering because they take in a greater number of applicants so you have a better chance of getting in. You can later choose biochem eng in your 2nd or 3rd year.
