Is 87777766665 enough to study medicine?

In GCSEs I got 87777766665, is this enough if u want to study medicine in university like kings college, queens Mary, imperial, UCL. Although I got a 5 in English Language, I will retake it and hopefully end up with a 7 at least. I know that these are not the best grades, but if I try really hard in a levels and get like A*A*A and get a really good UCAT score will they choose me.

I really wanna go to QMUL or imperial, I heard that UCL and kings does not care Abt GCSEs as much as Queens Mary and imperial. They care more Abt UCAT Hopefully I'll do really good in that and my year 12 mocks. Do you think I have a chance?

I am not to sure about this which is why I sent you that pm but based on what I do know maybe double check Qmul, ucl and imperial dont care bout gcses past the minimum , not a lot is known about imperial and ucl for ucat but are expected to have high ucat like 2900+ they also don't care about alevel predictions bar the minimum. qmul is like 2700s but with 3a* i think they care about alevel predictions. kings cares a lot about ucat and gcses allocation a 60:40 split
