"Should I not be accepted into veterinarian school the first time, I plan to reapply next year. I would take the year to upgrade any required courses and prepare an even stronger application. 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, show that you will take a different path, perhaps into veterinarian pharma or military dog care. 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 path you choose, you must show the interviewers you have confidence and drive. It'll take more than one rejection to keep you down!
