Always aim for the best score you can get, statistically a 28-29 would put you in a comfortable position, given your URM status. Anything above 34 will be competitive for top 20s. You also need to increase your number of shadowing hours, and non clinical volunteer hours.

As high as you can get. 508+ would be nice.

27+ and you are in very very solid shape. 25+ equivalent and you can be competitive. 33+ equivalent and you can really start thinking about applying to some top 20 schools.
