Hi, Please do some research on their websites to know what is their entry requirements for medicine.
Check on:
1) Are they lookingfor predicted grades in A levels?
2) What GCSE subjects and grades they are going to consider? What subjects?
3) Are they considering EPQ?
4) What is the min UCAT score they are looking to call for interview?
5) What type of work experience they are looking
Based on the above you can decide which university you are suitable.

These gcse grades are quite low for the uni's you mentioned and you should look into the requirements on their websites.
However, these schools tend to care much more for the ucat, so a high ucat will be the decider more than your gcses for an invite to interview.
Why do you want to go to these uni's? Is it location or because you think they are better than other uni's?

what was the 6 in? i got 888888776, and I got med interviews from bsms and brunel. I also got a very low ucat tho so I couldn’t apply for kcl and these big unis, but yeah it’s totally fine I wouldn’t worry lol. honestly, GCSEs don’t matter (I know that KCL scores 8s and 9s as the same grade). If you want to do med, the truth is it ALL depends on the ucat, and the a level grades. worst case scenario, just get A*AA in ur a levels and do a gap year and reapply, they won’t even look at your GCSEs.
