Columbia/Stern with low-quant

Everyone says these two schools are for finance people, and I work in education. I have a 740 GMAT (q47, v46). My quant score is probably high enough, but I only have two quant courses (one is UCLA Extension) and work in education where I hardly ever use quant skills at work. Are these schools more of a reach than most given my lack of quant, or are they more likely to be interested in me since I don't fit their stereotype?
