Did I screw myself that badly?

Coming into this past spring semester as a sophomore at a semi-target/target business school, I had a 3.5 GPA and am going to be working at a MM investment bank this summer. However, there were some personal hardships that I went through this semester that dropped my GPA to a 3.4. With an investment banking internship, and theoretically doing a decent job networking over this summer, what kind of shape am I in for banking recruiting in the fall?

I'd love to hear if anyone has went through something similar
