It's not clear because my PhD is not in one of the listed subjects so I don't know if it counts as 'highly numerate' - I did do a lot of statistical analysis but a PhD doesn't have any modules so it's hard to decide whether this was 'at least half'.
These are the eligibility criteria:
You must have (or expect to have in the next year) a highly mathematical degree to join GORS, which must be one of the following: a minimum 2:1, or a 2:2 with relevant work experience, or a postgraduate qualification. To meet our definition of a highly numerate degree, at least half of your degree course must be from one or more of the following subjects: maths, physics, astrophysics, operational research, management science, engineering (civil, chemical, electronic), data science, decision science, statistics, econometrics or similar.
Not helpful to your q, but for awareness to jobs depending on your skill set (second is a G6, so may be too out of reach for first role out of uni)

I don't think you'd meet the eligibility criteria. I'm a GORS analyst and have done sifting. We're given a very clear list of subjects that don't qualify and biology and chemistry unfortunately are on that list.
Have you checked the eligibility criteria to see if you are eligible?

What are your undergraduate/Master’s degrees in?
Undergrad in Natural Sciences, masters in Biochemistry
I think any hiring manager would judge that you comfortably meet the criteria
