Absolutely, you’ve already set up yourself well with your past/upcoming experiences so won’t be an issue if you take a summer to “explore” another field you may be interested in. Also think this shows you have more diverse/complex interests. And on top of all that, HYPSM background will still pull for you strongly regardless of what you end up doing.
I went to H/S and didn’t do anything my freshman summer and didn’t have a finance internship my sophomore summer - I traveled abroad and had a remote start up internship in sales. Was just fine come recruiting season. Got a top BB summer offer and converted to FT
