You should phone/email the directors of some grad programs you're interested in. I think taking some courses such as undergrad analysis (applied if available) and numerical analysis would be good (these are core courses in applied math programs), and as far as the GRE Math goes, I think that can only do good to present as part of your application (as long as you score well) but some don't require it. You can always apply and perhaps there's a way a program will let you in with your deficient coursework and then let you make that up while in their program. Your background I'm sure will be attractive to some programs who apply math to econ, and applied math programs frequently have people in from industrial backgrounds (naturally). I recommend you start beating the bushes and see what you can come up with! Good luck and let us know what happens.

Let me first commend you for your academic excellence. A 99.9% on your LSAT?! Wow, you must really be a genius. Seems like you are really taking your goal in life seriously. There are but a few people like you who would strive to do what it takes to get a good education for their future. As for your querry, I think you can easily research on this through google or any web search engine. Good Luck to you.
