"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."

If you are not accepted, show the interviewers that one rejection won't stop you at all! Talk about your plan to reapply while bolstering your application 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!
