do i have a chance at getting into king's college london? please be honest.

kcl has a fairly high acceptance rate for biochem. 7/8 or 88% according to google. i have ben predicted A*AA and A in EPQ but my gcses are as follows:

maths - 5

english lit - 5

english lang - 6

combined science - 6,5

r.e - 5

geography - 8

history - 6

sociology - 6

german - 6

they don't specify what they need for gcses but i feel like my maths is too low. do i have a chance in getting in or no? or should i retake gcse maths and apply with PREDICTED gcse grade and just try to get 6 like i know i can quite easily i was so so so lazy in yr 11. i know there are more unis obviously but kcl has been my dream for a while now (guess i should've thought abt it during gcses) but yeah lmk what yall think.

Unis look more about predicted grades and personal statement so if you got predicted more than their entry requirements and have a good personal statement you will have a chance to get into it,it depends too the demand of that course and ofc the interview you would have.
At the end of the day you will never know,there is people that got into UCL and other top unis with not so good GCSEs so everything is possible and you will never know,I have seen people with three As starts and got rejected so you will never know,as I said personal statement and interview affects so much
