You did well on the verbal and terrible on the math. Frankly you shouldn't be worried about being admitted you should be worried about being able to handle the coursework at a top level program. The reason the GMAT is so important is because it demonstrates an applicants ability to handle the coursework. If you are that lacking in math ability I think you will find 1/3 to 1/2 of your courses very difficult and potentially extremely frustrating.
Although it is a business degree there is a lot of math involved with a lot of the courses as it is important in the business world and not just in the financial field. It has probably been a long time since you were in school, if you completed precalculus and calculus courses and did well in them in college you might just need to pick up some books for a few months and review precalculus and calculus material.
I did my basic economics courses before I did precalculus and calculus and I really struggled with the classes. I understood all the material I just had a hard time solving the non knowledge based problems. After I had taken precalculus and calculus my advanced classes have been a breeze.
