A high schooler is not going to get a paper into Science or Nature, wtf.
No kidding. PP is clueless. The two most famous science journals have “some level of scrutiny…” ?!

Getting published in those is what career researchers with PhDs aspire to.
I think the overwhelming majority of high school published research is BS that a decent adcom sees through. It should be more common just to have a faculty member look at an academic work sample, imo.
