What does it tell you about GCSEs and requirements/scoring on the websites of these med schools?

I met the minimum requirements and got more then minimum for most if not all my subjects but I wanted to know if my grades are good enough for a successful application

They all state how they select and most give past cut offs.
Oxford heavily score GCSES - details on their website.
Cambridge have no GCSE requirements but consider everything post interview
Imperial and UCL shortlist using BMAT and only have low minimum GCSE requirements, though that may change when they move to UCAT
Birmingham score GCSEs and past cut offs are on their website

Congratulations on achieving excellent grades! It's important to remember that being shortlisted is not solely based on GCSE scores , so don't worry. There are many other factors that are taken into consideration. Keep up the great work
