does harvard considered an investing skill and business idea as talent or skill ? for undergraduate prgram
^^ Neither. As Harvard doesn’t offer an undergraduate degree in business or investing, it’s just an extracurricular activity, no more important than any other EC.
Nor does it tip you into Wharton.
I don’t think we have enough information to say. What you begin to describe ( a skill and an idea) do not have to relate to a business degree. Harvard is certainly interested in entrepreneurial projects undertaken by applicants. So the answer would be “it depends” because we don’t know enough from your post to give an opinion.
what sort of talent or skill harvard considered?
^^ Most applicants to Harvard have committed themselves to a few extracurricular activities at their high school (1-4 activities that show a keen interest in something beyond classroom academics), but they are not necessarily skilled or talented. Think: Sports writer for their school newspaper, yearbook staff, debate member, choir or band member, cheerleader, class president, sports participant (but not at a Division 1 recruited athlete level), robotics club, etc.
However, every year there are several hundred accepted students who have huge talents and skills – and those students might range from a concert quality musician, famous actor, Intel Science winner, a 17-year Broadway playwright, to a computer science wiz-kid who sold his game in high school for millions of dollars (yes, those types of kids do exist). Here’s one article about one of those very skilled and talented students, but as I said before, MOST accepted students do NOT have these kind of talents or skills. What they demonstrate in their application is commitment, dedication and devotion to something they love. The key words are “commitment and dedication” as selective colleges believe that commitment and dedication are transferrable skills that might be applied to another extracurricular activity in college or something later on in life: https://www.fastcoexist.com/1681325/what-happens-to-genius-kids-after-they-win-the-google-science-fair.
I would stop asking about what Harvard wants. Either you have a talent or a skill or not. Think about what YOU want!
Harvard does not have a business major for Undergrads.
You have been given good advice on your other thread: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1956269-for-admission.html#latest
Please google “MIT applying sideways” and read the article. Everything written in that article applies to Harvard, as well. There is no formula, everyone has to do it their own unique way.
Investing skill isn’t what tips kids in. They aren’t reviewing you as a possible hire to manage their money. OP needs to be the sort who’d go look at what Harvard (or any top school) does tell them they look for. It’s not just about doing something your hs buds don’t. Or that you think no one else but you does.
@lamborgini, just in case you live in a country where google is not available and cannot search the internet for “What Harvard looks for” below is a quote directly from Harvard’s website

That is not the whole story and sometimes the blurbs from colleges are misleading. I think it is easier to just answer the OPs question
can anyone tell what i can do as i am very intrested in business field? that can lead me to harvard

Harvard is receptive to many different activities from their applicants; most importantly, it should be pursued to an exceptional level. The talents and skills that are most reliable for admissions are athletic in nature, such as the ability to run very fast, throw a ball accurately, or expertly poke an opponent with a metal rod (Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton are fierce competitors in fencing).
