The interviewers want to know that you have thought through all options and scenarios if you are not accepted to Midwestern University. The way you answer this question will also show the interviewers that your interest in the medical field goes deeper than your acceptance into medical school.
If you are not accepted, show that you will take a different path into nursing or medical science, for instance. Or, you can let the interviewers know that one rejection won't stop you at all! Talk about your plan to reapply if rejected.
Whatever the path you choose, you must show the interviewers you have confidence and drive. It'll take more than one rejection to keep you down!

"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. My life's goal is to become a physician, and I certainly won't take one rejection as a final answer."

While you may take another path if you are not accepted into Midwestern University Medical School, your answer will be more substantial if you let the interviewers know that you will not take one rejection as a final answer. If you are not accepted, explain how you will take time to discover why you were not accepted and improve where needed.
