Gcse resits and alvl subjects requirements

12

Hello, i posted many times before and ik this could quite irritating for you to be almost repeating the same thing again and again. My gcse profile r quite weak. 5s and 6s for my stem and 8s for eng lan and lit 9 in chinese and 6 in maths, i got enrolled with psychology law and politics in this one good school that almost mathced everything i need, its close to my house, academically strong, and offers opportunities that my parents favous too. But this school needs a seven in biology to do for alvl and minimum of grade six for maths with it too. I met the maths requirement but is one grade below for biology. Idk if it could work if i show my dedication and apply for trial period to show them im capable to doing biology. As i rlly wanna do med, i might resits them for gcse and take chem for private alevel, i understand the fees and lab endorsements but thats not the problem because my family r willing to support me. I js wanted to know is it still possible to do med in london unis, since some dont score gcse as much? Pls do give me any advice and i apologize if some answered me for previous messages but im js a patheitc overthinker i dont want to take the wrong step. Tysm
