The admissions interviewer at UMMS (University of Minnesota Medical School) wants to know that you have thought out all options and scenarios if you are not accepted to the University of Minnesota. 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 then 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 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 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."
