The courses and extracurriculars look good. For the extracurriculars make sure to demonstrate leadership skills if possible, by being a captain or president of that club/sport. Also, it is important to maintain a good GPA, and prepare for the AP Exams. These looks like pretty good classes and extracurriculars, because there are multiple AP classes, and the extracurriculars show both interest in history (Moot Court, and Mock Trial) and also focus on other fields, such as, athletics (Varsity Badminton Team), volunteering (Church Volunteer), and leadership (School Ambassador).
Your course load looks pretty good, same with your extracurriculars. I would suggest that if your school has like a history club or something, you could join and try to get a leadership position there or if you don't have a club like that yet, you could start one and become the founder/president. That way you could get some leadership experience. Otherwise, looks great and well-rounded!
