check the individual med school websites for minimum gcse requirements, but bear in mind that for some unis, i.e. kings, even if you do meet the minimum reqs your gcses would put you at a disadvantage as they use gcses in their scoring system. however, many unis just use a straight ucat cutoff, so as long as minimum gcse reqs are met then they are not used.

I know I meet the minimum requirements for kcl and I wanna go to kcl but I just wasn’t sure if I’d get in with average GCSEs

kings score gcses by counting the number of 8s and 9s you have, and most applicants will get maximum gcse points as they have 8 grade 8s and 9s, while you would get 0 points, so unfortunately it wouldn't be advisable to apply to kcl.
