Research impact varies from very little as others have written, to huge for highly selective programs like RSI (most of those participants get into multiple HYPSM colleges).

When it comes to research with individual professors, you need some sort of external validation for it to be valuable (unless you are doing it with a very well known professor or institution). This can be either a publication in a peer-reviewed paper or a well known science award like ISEF.
