Good luck to everyone who's interviewing this Thursday!!! If you have questions, feel free to post on this board as current UH pharmacy students such as myself read the messages from time to time.
UH looks at the candidate as a whole, and I believe a 71 composite PCAT is decent. The average for my class (the entering class of Fall 2011) was a 79 composite score so you're not far off. This applies to many other pharmacy schools as well, but once you receive an interview invitation, the interview itself will be the primary determining factor of whether or not a candidate receives an acceptance letter.
I know it's easy to stress when things are uncertain but just keep in mind that a 71 on the PCAT does not translate to a C or almost failing like normal undergrad courses. Your job, volunteer, and leadership experiences carry a lot of weight. Best wishes to you.

I involve in leadership experience as vice president, volunteer more than 2 years at pharmacy dept of hospital, have interaction with retail pharmacists although I am not a pharm tech...
