Bentley, Buffalo and UConn are going to be the easier schools for you to get into. Ph.D programs like to see that you have academic and philosophical interest in the area you are targeting, and the profile as you have laid it out doesn't demonstrate that.
Working 10 months as a business consultant in the U.S. is also not very strong, and you have no published papers, patents, or highly competitive internships under your belt. Your college GPA is also extremely low. I understand you went through some trials in school losing two family members, but the schools will want to see that you can do the work.
Your GMAT score though is high -- is there a reason you're not applying to an MBA program at a smaller school? Given your background as you have presented it, that seems like a more likely way to gain acceptance somewhere.
I do often help Ph.D applicants, but usually at the more competitive programs. Hope that helps!

Well, really very little on your profile of importance for a PhD application.
Ok, your GMAT should be enough since you're not targetting top schools. But that's all.
Work experience is usually not really relevant for PhD, and yours do not seem that great.
No teaching experience, no research experience, that's really bad.
Very low GPA.
I don't know how you'd be able to get strong letters of recommendation. For a PhD, such letters must attest to your potential as a researcher. From what you've written, does not look like it's going to be easy to get them.
Even your research interests are extremely vague.
I wonder why you want to do a PhD, since your path does not seem to lead to that. If you really want a PhD, I think you should find some way to get research experience and results to show. I think a Masters with research would be better. If you do really well during your masters, you'll have a better GPA to show, some experience with research, and professors willing to write recommendations.
