Any suggestions on a prospective major for me?

Hi I absolutely love Cornell but I am having a bit of a difficult time finding the right major/program/school for me. I have jumped back and forth between a few and do not know which would be best. Below I will list my interests and if you can just suggest a major or program (or school) that would best fit my focus that would be greatly appreciated! Please do not tell me to search the Cornell website I have been on that thing daily. I have a few ideas in mind but really want to see what you guys say. Thanks!

Interested in..
-mathematics
-marketing
-business
-law
-psychology
-possibly JD or MBA in my future

PS: I am a NY state residence so I would prefer if I could pay reduced tuition by going to a contract school (ILR, Ecology, CALS) because I do not qualify for FA. If however something in another school best fits me then I would be willing to apply to that one.

that is what I was leaning towards along with Policy Analysis and Management in HE and AEM. I heard that ILR was very structured though.. i would like to explore a bit more.

Yeah, I agree, ILR...especially with psychology, you can take lots of classes in organizational behavior.

Perhaps, something involving personal financial planning/consumer affairs...maybe an independent major combining these fields and drawing on courses from Human Ecology or Ag Ec (not sure in what depts you'd find the relevant courses)

Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc.

or, possibly something in Human Resources..
