Are my grades good enough for medicine?

So I got my gcse results today:

English Language (aqa)- A*
English Literature (aqa)- B
Maths (edexcel)- A (one mark of A* so I'm remarking)
Biology (cie igcse)- A*
Chemistry (cie igcse)- B (really high B so I'm remarking)
Physics (cie igcse)- B
French (edexcel igcse)- A*
Latin (ocr)- A
History (aqa)- B
Religious Studies (aqa)- A

I can't even think of doing anything but medicine, and I'll be going for Queen Mary, Kings, UCL, Imperial (?) or St George's.
Those are good results especially with successful remarks and I don't think they will hinder you. What's important now is trying to find some clinical experience/ voluntary work to get an insight in the career and show dedication when writing personal statement and in interviews.
Hello:smile:
Your grades are perfectly fine for medicine (and those unis). GCSE grades make up a rather small part of the overall application.
Check this article out, and you'll see that you meet the minimum requirements for many med schools.
