Like you said, your stats aren’t too high (SAT, GPA). I would strengthen on what makes you unique, namely Chinese. Also, junior year is when your extra-curriculars should shine the most. As everyone says, junior year is the most important of the four. Make sure you work hard!

This being said, you need to (1) push up your stats, (2) engage in more competitions and various activities regarding the Chinese language, and (3) work hard to achieve more “major” accomplishments (state and national levels).
