I may be a day late, but I want to add my 2 cents.
First off, if you really want it, you are just fine as a med school applicant. Yes you need to get some science courses in, but that's just an administrative requirement. Nothing in those courses will make you a better Doctor, which is what you're ultimately after. Everyone in med school gets the same (mostly useless) basic science education the first two years. By the time you're seeing patients third year, youre all in the same boat.
To me the more important question is : How bad do you reallyreally want this? Med school is not too terrible actually, but internship and residency are truly grueling. Fellowship is even worse, but that's not something to worry about yet. The other thing is as you are drowning in debt as an intern, working your ass off, and feeling like crap daily, your frinds who were Comp Sci/MBA's etc are going to be out buying homes, nice cars, and even taking nice vacations. What will that feel like and how will you deal with it?
I would only go to med school if it's something you really MUST do. Otherwise I think there are better opportunities out there.
