Thinking of doing pharmacy, GCSE problem

Hello, I'm currently doing my A-levels, I'm studying biology, chemistry and history, I really want to study pharmacy but I don't think my GCSEs are strong enough? I achieved 1A*,1A (Not in science,maths or English) and 8B grades. I'm looking to study at Cardiff, Bath, Manchester and Kings College London. I think my GCSEs aren't strong enough compared to other candidates I've seen apply on TSR.

Honestly I don't think any unis care about GCSE's except Nottingham who wanted As in Maths and English, don;t write anything off what are your predicted grades if you don't mind me asking?

Biology and history I'm predicted A's, chemistry predicted a B but i'm hoping this will change to an A also after January mocks. So you don't think I will be at a disadvantage compared to other candidates?

As long as you get A*-C no one cares at all about GCSE. I got all A*s and As and it makes no difference to anything, at all.
