It might hurt you a bit since it was pretty drastic. But I don't think it will hurt you much. You still have a solid cumulative and trends rarely matter one way or the other.

You have hurt your odds to the same extent that you hurt your GPA. Hopefully you learned your lesson. Don't let that happen during 1L or you're toast.
