During your interview at Tulane University, the interviewers may inquire about your contingency plan if you are not accepted into medical school this year. It's prudent to have a backup plan if things do not go as expected. Alternatives could be applying to other medical schools, pursuing a different career path, or taking a gap year to gain more experience and improve your application. It's crucial to maintain a positive outlook and continue working toward your objectives, regardless of any obstacles that may arise. Whatever the path you would choose, you must show the interviewers that 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 gap 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."
