Need Help - College student with some major problems

So long story short, I went into undergrad as a premed. I did this for the wrong reasons, as many do, and was one of the many students who got Cs in the weed out classes (bio, chem, etc). I thought I was interested in medicine, but in reality I was interested in the glamor of it without any real interest or ability to do well in the sciences. I also had no interest in surviving med school. Yes, I know, you don't have to say it.

Anyway, deep down, I kind of always had an interest in consulting as well as other finance related careers. After a lot of thought this year, it is what I'd like to pursue--at least for a few years--after undergrad. I am considering getting an MBA after, or a law degree, likely doing corporate law. I just like business in general.

The problem is, my GPA is absolute trash. One, I attend Cornell university, where the median grade in STEM classes is a B-. Given that I took linear algebra, two semester of gen chem, and a biology class, you can imagine what that means for my GPA. On top of that, I had 2 deaths in my family this school year, and it really affected my ability to perform well. So, my GPA is 2.57. I also got a C in intro to microeconomics because I spent about 10 hours a week studying chemistry and neglected the econ class. But, if I want to be an econ major, I'll have to retake that class. May not be a bad investment in the long run, but anyway. I also got a C in linear algebra, and the other premed classes I took. Really the only decent grades I got were in English and Spanish because I have strong verbal and writing skills.

Now, i am considering a government major, with minors in applied economics and statistics. I would major in econ or stats, but I am worried that those majors, which are kind of difficult at Cornell, would keep my GPA too low for graduate school / employment. I have to get ~3.8 every semester moving forward if I want to be a competitive applicant. I am considering government because at least at Cornell, it involves a lot of writing, and it's something I think I'll enjoy given I've loved those kinds of classes up until now. It seems that 18% of government graduates from Cornell go into consulting, and 15% go into "financial services". However, my fear is that this is legal consulting / paralegal work, which I'm not too interested in. If you're wondering why I don't just major in business, well, the department i'm in at Cornell does not have a business major, so i'd have to go through a strenuous and difficult internal transfer process to a different school that would likely not work out well for me because of my low GPA. If I take the risk and apply out, which would involve taking classes in that department and becoming close with a faculty member, but don't get in, I will be notably behind in my degree. I do believe that Cornell utterly sucks, and I would love to transfer to a more enjoyable school, but again, my GPA is trash. I am basically stuck at the department I'm in, at the university I'm in. Also, most internships on campus require a 3.0 or 3.25 GPA, so i'm worried that I'll risk not raising my GPA up to that by spring time if i don't pick a major with a lot of writing--my strength.

In essence: can I go into consulting for a good company with a government degree and econ + stat minors? Is it incredibly difficult? Do government/poly sci majors get into MBA programs usually? If anyone has any other advice, I'd appreciate it.
