Hello,
From the information provided, I consider you a qualified and credible applicant to HBS 2+2 program. That said, it’s highly competitive and most of the people they deny are qualified (often well qualified), so the key will be to differentiate yourself and make a compelling case for your candidacy in your application. Think about making your application answer this question: why should the adcom choose YOU over other similarly qualified applicants from similar backgrounds?
Yes, you should mention the Literary and Debate Clubs – you’ll certainly have the benefit of the doubt; you don’t have to “prove” your experiences. Moreover, the adcoms want to understand and get a grasp of the “whole person” – which they couldn’t do if applicants limited themselves to discussing only things that are externally verifiable. These two activities show your well-roundedness and engagement, very positive traits.
Good luck!
