The interviewers want to know that you have thought out all options and scenarios if you are not accepted to Kansas State University or any other veterinary school this upcoming year. The way you answer this question will also show the interviewers that your interest in the field goes deeper than your acceptance into veterinary school.

"Should I not be accepted into veterinary school the first time, I plan to reapply next year. I would take advantage of the next year to pursue work in the lab and research setting in veterinary science to help build my skills and my CV for my next application at Kansas State University. My life's goal is to become a veterinarian, and I certainly won't take one rejection as a final answer."

If you are not accepted, you ideally want to show that you will take a different path in the coming year to prepare you for applying and interviewing the following year. Before your interview with Kansas State University, consider how you would spend the coming year if you weren't accepted and discuss your desire to reapply the following year. Because the acceptance rates are very low for veterinary schools, let your interviewer know that one rejection won't stop you at all!
