To plusqueparfaite-
In a non English speaking country like China- The general English ability of people isn’t that good and thus you win prizes you wouldn’t if you were competing with American students.
I got 700 R and 720 W and i used to win all the Essay competitions and get the highest grade in English at my school- but I know i don’t stand anywhere in comparison to many people here.
Plus a 670 is like 90th Percentile which means her score is better then 90% Americans who speak only English usually.

Personally i think your scores are pretty good Alexis- its just that the colleges you are applying to are too reach for everybody.
Hope you get in!-
