Applying R2 to Johnson, Ross, Haas, Tepper & Marshall. Scored a 740 (42Q/51V). Only took the test once, today.
Previous two practice tests (Official Practice Tests #3 and #4 taken in testing conditions, at a library obeying all rules) I scored 46 and 48 quant respectively, so while I'm thrilled with a 740, I'm concerned that the low quant (44%ile) will disqualify me from consideration.
My undergrad was a BFA (fine arts), no quant to speak of on my transcript, but GPA 3.764. Bulk of my work history (8 years) is in hospitality operations, largely hotel food and beverage management. Much more personnel management than quantitative. My recommendations will be glowing. Extracurriculars are mediocre.
My post MBA goal is to work in Human Capital Strategy internally with a tech firm's HR function.
I'm taking the online "mbamath" class and will turn in my transcript with applications in an effort to demonstrate quantitative ability and willingness to improve (I'm 50% done right now, should have no problem getting that done). Additionally, I will be taking calc and stats at a community college over the summer to be ready, and am mentioning that in my optional essays.
Help me with some context here-I feel like I've got a lot of good high numbers with a lot of caveats. Am I in trouble? Should I retake?

I am really glad you are doing MBA Math right now. Transcripts from that should go a long way, but I have to ask, you took the test today and your mock quant scores were significantly higher than what you ended up with today. Do you have a better score in you? Dont leave any money on the table. You have some momentum right now, could you manage to take it again soon, without having to invest a lot more time studying?
Given you have no other way to prove numeracy - it would be optimal. That said, you don't want to cannibalize the time you have devoted to writing your application essays (or CV, app boxes, LOR talking points, etc) You must make them feel something for you. No one adcom member pounds the table in favor of a GMAT score.
If it's not possible to do both, you might indicate that you plan to retake the exam in the optional essays. There's no proven record of whether or not this works but if you take the exam again right after submitting they might consider the new score. If they like your app, they might waitlist you to give you a strong hint - hey you retake the GMAT.
Hope this helps!
