GCSE's decent for medicine?

So at GCSE I got 7A's (inc. Maths, Biology & Chemistry) and 3B's (personal circumstances).
are these grades decent for medicine? I'm doing Bio, Chem, Maths, R.S & History atm and have been predicted AAAAA so far , but I do understand that a course like medicine has extreme demands for GCSE as well as UKCAT/BMAT/A-Levels.
Also, I have had a look at the 'apply to your strengths page' but that's a lil bit outdated, so what Universities are not so "GCSE Heavy" ?

Thanks in advance (BTW anyone who holds a 2015 medical interview offer/is studying medicine with similar GCSE's please please please contact me )

Liverpool operate with a point system (A/A* = 2 points and B= 1 point) so you'd be alright applying there. Avoid Nottingham and Birmingham since they look for quite a few A*s.

Liverpool seems decent & by looking at Notts/Birmingham I don't think I'm suitable for them :') thanks

Some of the newer ones like Exeter and Plymouth don't look at GCSEs so highly - so long as you meet their minimum requirements they use your UKCAT score and A2 predictions to select for interview

No problem. I'm in Year 12 and got 11 A's and 1 C and want to to medicine so we're in a similar position. People will tell you that your GCSE's are good enough, and others will tell you they're not. If you keep an eye out on what people are saying about what universities are accepting and play to your strengths you should be fine.
