How screwed am I for a career in banking?

Hi everybody. I am currently a sophomore at a top 15 private university. I was originally a pre-med student (majoring in neuroscience), but I have decided that finance and banking are more interesting and rewarding. The problem is that I have taken basically no economics/math courses, and I have to withdraw this semester to deal with some family issues (my dad has been very sick). My GPA is currently a ~3.8, and I will take micro and calculus in the spring.

Assuming I take summer courses, how far behind am I going to be if I am planning on a career in finance?
