What is my chance of getting into a top-10 B-School?

I am currently a senior MBA student at Sharif University, Iran. I am planning to apply to top PhD programs in business. Here is my background:

  1. I don't have any work experience but since I am not applying to a masters program I dont think that would matter (am i right?).
  2. I have two accepted papers in international journals. I also have some conference papers.
  3. I have a paper submitted to System Dynamics Review (an "A" ranked management journal) and i think that will be accepted before the admission decisions are made.
  4. I have gotten a 760 on my GMAT and a 116 (out of 120) on my TOEFL.
  5. I am trying to write impressive SOPs (I am not sure I can though!)

I think i am not in a bad place among other applicants. However i don't know how my chance will be affected by the fact that i am graduating from a school which most admission officers at the top business schools have not even heard of.

Could anyone help me with this? I mean could any body help me find out what my chance is? and could anyone help me with what to do to compensate for the weakness point about my current school?
