Personally I would shoot for mid-90s and accept a score in the high 80s. That will help you out getting past the GPA/PCAT hurdle (and hopefully they are together and aren't separated).

After the PCAT focus on making the most of your interview, by practicing situational responses and writing samples. You're grades aren't bad, in the grand scheme of things, but the more positives you can add (higher PCAT, volunteering, organizations, work experience, etc) the more lenient the committee will be.
