PULSE is legit
Earlier this year I saw some posts questioning the PULSE research program for high schools. I applied and got accepted and everyone involved was extremely helpful. We were divided into ~7 person groups and were guided to research amongst eachother with weekly checkups. So I recommend any sophomore or upperclassman in highschool to keep your eye on their updates.
