Starting an unrelated masters during my gap year?

[somuchwater]

Hi,

I graduated with a degree in computer science from my undergrad but I wasn't satisfied with my coursework and realize how much I still have yet to learn. One thing I Was thinking about was getting a masters in computer science as

A) a way to further my interest with coursework I missed out in undergrad
B) A backup in case medical school doesn't work out

However, I Wasn't sure how schools would look at this. Would they see it as a lack of interest in medical school?

Another issue is that it requires 10 courses. What should I Do if I Get in to med school? Drop out?

Are you applying right now? Don't commit to something that you won't be able to finish if med school next year happens. This plan is not the best option but makes logical sense and could work. You'd just have to put in some extra time to do volunteering or shadowing and keep some sort of medical activity going while you apply.
