GCSE entry requirements for medicine

Hey, I'm a Y12 student who does Biology, Chemistry, Psychology A level. On my GCSES, I got 987776665 which isn't the worst but isn't the best for medicine. Any advice and what unis don't weigh GCSES too much?

Can't remember which universities weight GCSEs but these are the minimum requirements from all their websites. Oxford and Cambridge don't really say on their websites, but I know Oxford puts a lot of weight on GCSEs.
