My GPA is 3.9 and I would like to do my MBA after my Phd (computer science). I expect to graduate this Fall. I am planning to take my GMAT this summer. I am 29 years old and I plan to apply for Fall 2014. What would be my chances of getting into top 5 B schools?

Agreed you'll need to score over 700+ to get into a top tier school. But in addition to that,
the important question is : Why do you want to go for an MBA after a PhD? What do you plan to do with an additional degree and how will it take you further up in your career?

Since you will already have a PhD, it is important that when you write up your application you emphasis on "Why". In addition to this, how many years of work experience do you have will also count for or against you. Please send me your resume/vitae/c.v for in-depth evaluation or questions.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
