Any chance of getting into King's College London for Foundation Medicine

My GCSES are: 999999997
(I know they're a bit insane -- I was the cohort who didn't sit their GCSE exams because of COVID so I got my predicted grades)
I've already sat my A Levels and got 3A*s in Biology, Chemistry and English Literature.

My UCAT is horrendous though. I got an average of 637.5 (2550 total) and band 3.
I'm absolutely gutted.

I've heard that King's greatly values the UCAT but that they also consider the applicant holistically? I was wondering if I have any chance, since King's is my dream school and the school and sixth form I went to doesn't have the best reputation.

Again, I'm devastated at how poorly I've done, but I just want the honest truth. Told gently, please.

Thanks, and best of luck to everyone.
