Just tell them that you really can't see yourself working less than 100 hours per week until you either a) retire, b) go insane and kill yourself, or c) drop dead from stress.

That should get you an admission. If not, just tell them you like to tell all of the 18 year-old girls you see that you're in medical school.

Chicks really dig medical students, ya know?
 
Figure out why you actually want to be a doctor and be honest. They don't want to hear, " because I want to help people." Relay a specific event that has influenced your decision.
