Top 10 B-School Chances

Been lurking for a while, but I want to ask y'alls awesome knowledge on the subject about the chances to get into the top 10 b-schools given my credentials:

  1. Undergrad - small liberal arts college 3.6 GPA 3.9 Major (played tennis all 4 years on the team)
  2. Graduate - Did a year at SMU right after undergrad (3.6 GPA, Beta Gamma Sigma) for my masters of science in management (liberal arts college had terrible networking)
  3. Work - 2 years doing FP&A at $900M Rev retail company in Texas. Promoted to Senior Analyst after first year.
  4. Extracurricular- play tennis regularly in several men's leagues and do consistent volunteer work.
  5. GMAT 730

Do I have a solid chance at making it into Booth/CBS? (assuming my essays and recommendations are on point). If anyone has any advice for me on boosting my profile, I appreciate all tips.

Thanks for the help y'all.
