"Should I not be accepted into medical school the first time, I plan to reapply the following year. I would take that year to upgrade any required courses and prepare an even stronger application. One possible path would also be to approach some basic science research endeavors on my current campus. My life's goal is to become a physician, and I certainly won't take one rejection as a final answer."

If you are not accepted, you want to show that you will then take a different path in the coming year that will help you better prepare for acceptance into medical school the following year. Talk about your plan to reapply if rejected as well. Whatever your path, you must show the interviewers that you have confidence and drive and that it will take more than one rejection to keep you down.
