Really serious dilemma

I'm a pre-med, neurobio major. Freshman year my gpa was fine, but sophomore year I had a bout of depression and my gpa tanked (4.0->3.5 in two semesters with poor grades in essential science classes). I have really little extracurriculars (~20hrs/wk of research in a lab for 1 year now but the hours spent probably won't matter, and I am a tutor).
Have I essentially ruined my chances of getting into a top med school these two semesters?

Oh look... another SERIOUS dilemma... about getting into a TOP med school.

LoL

You will be fine. Provided that you sorted out your depression issues and you continue to do well in school.

Yes.

Wow....that was serious enough to require immediate attention at 3:22 in the morning! Yeah, chances are pretty much over for TOP school since there's no way you'll ever have that 4.1 GPA. Keep your head up though, there's always the Caribbean!

First things first, address the underlying issue. Seriously. Seek professional help. Then deal with grades.
