Medicine at UEA

I would love to study medicine at UEA, but due to my A level choices, I'll have to do the gateway year. The GCSE requirements are six GCSEs at grade 6/B, I have a grade 5 in English Language, due you think they'd accept me if I met every other requirements and that I only have 3 marks away from a grade 6?
