How can I get into medical with high Alevel predictions but weak GCSEs?

Hello, Im predicted 3 A*s in my A levels which was in bio,chem and psychology. I got 3130 on my ucat band 1.

Results:
VR - 740
DM - 690
QR - 830
AR - 870
SJT - Band 1

However my GCSE results are not the strongest.

I got 887665543

8- Maths

6- English Language
7- English lit
3- computer science


I meet the requirements for the maths and English but I’m unsure whether I meet the science GCSE as I got Grade 6–5. The main reason which I got that was due to poor revision strategies and stress. Do I have a chance at any of the top London medical and dental schools? I worked super hard during sixth form to make up for my past mistakes. Whenever I’d tell anyone how I want to go to get into medical school they just tell me to give up.

Thank you to anyone reading this.
