What are your gcse’s?
Ultimately, the medical school you apply to is dependent on your UCAT/BMAT score, and A Level subject choices (https://www.medicmind.co.uk/medicine-ucas-guide/what-a-levels-are-required-for-medicine/)
What A Levels have you chosen?

A Level Chemistry is deemed necessary by 24 Medical Schools, while 13 of them require both A Level Biology and A Level Chemistry.
If Biology is not taken, approximately 19 medical schools are open to considering applications with A Level Chemistry and either Physics or Maths as the second subject
For roughly 16 Medical Schools, Chemistry A Level is not mandatory, and they may consider applicants with Biology and another science subject or Maths.

What year are you in? Have you finished A Levels?
Saw your post ‘Because of the private candidate costs I could only do 5 GCSEs, and due to mental health and autism that has caused me to be thrown around in a system in which does not help those who need help, I could only achieve 54333.’

Exeter!!!
You need a minimum GCSE grade 4 (or C) in English Language

A-Levels

Three A grades at A-level (including Biology and Chemistry)

The University of Exeter is another excellent choice if you feel your GCSEs might be slightly letting you down.

They literally just need you to have a decent grade in English Language.

Situated on the south coast, Exeter students have placements across the South West Peninsula over their five year course.

My GCSEs are 5(eng lang), 4(maths H), 3(physics), 3(chem) and 3(astronomy). I know these are bad results except for the english and the reason is the lack of accommodation for autism in private candidate centres for home students like myself. I am going to be doing biology as an A level, along with marine science, maths and physics. I'm starting yr 12.
