Bad GPA, what GRE score helps my case for fin aid?

[I am not a gradstudent]

Considering applying to international studies masters and PHDs

Major GPA 3.15

I don't know how bad this is for the most competitive programs.

I'm curious about the GRE.

Obviously a 99% will help my case for admissions and fin aid. But I'm having a harder time wondering about what score will help me.

 

I think I should be looking at my GRE score as compared to the applicant pool. Or should I just be looking at the flat GRE scores? Does it help my case as long as I score above the 50th percentile of the typical class body? Or do I want to shoot for higher and essentially 'counterbalance' with the lower GPA?
