GCSEs good enough for medicine?

I got 8/9 in everything except maths GCSE, where I got a 7. Will I still be able to get offers from medical schools or will I realistically have no chance of gaining offers without an 8? (I know that most medical schools require a minimum of a 6 in maths but do only those with at least an 8 in maths likely get offers?)

just check the requirements, if it says you need 7s and higher you’re fine. again, it’s about A-Levels. They want to know you have the basic knowledge, they’re not going to take one person over the other because they did better in maths GCSE
