The Extracurricular Involvement (Distinguished Service Award), the Social Service Award (Platinum) and the China Youth Festival (Gold with honors) are not academic awards or honors. They should be listed on your applications as extracurricular activities.
All the rest are academic awards and honors.

Yes, they all look like they would be considered awards to US colleges (I'm not sure about what the Research attachment is - if it's a position then you probably wouldn't include it as an award, even if you had to compete with a number of people for it.)
Make sure that you specify the requirements to win particular awards, and, if possible, how many people you beat out to win, as this will help admissions people to get a better feel for how significant a given award was. Also, decide whether to list them in order of date received or in order of importance (if you are going to list dates, then organizing by date will make it a lot clearer, but if you aren't, then listing it by how impressive the award is will make sure that the first things the reader sees will stick with them, and then if they sort of skim over the rest of the list, they will have the general idea that they were all very important).

If you're applying as an undergraduate, these all sound like exemplary awards to me. I would just be careful with your phrasing to make what the awards are clear, since the level of competition/reason for the award might not be immediately clear to an audience unfamiliar with the awards.

you will desire to attempt to take extra AP or IB training in Junior and Senior 3 hundred and sixty 5 days to enhance your possibilities. in case you're taking some and do nicely then you definately've gotten a wearing risk at Swarthmore. Ivy leagues may well be a sprint perplexing yet not impossible. yet there are various faculties that are seen to be as sturdy as Ivies which you would be able to get in extremely actual. I recommend you examine the classic "colleges that selection lives" e book that Loren Pope has written. the universities mentioned there are as sturdy as a results of fact the Ivies (in accordance to a pair human beings) sturdy luck!
