Application checklist

- CV or resume
- Academic transcript (unofficial preferred)
- At least 1 recommendation letter (trigger the SOLAA email request via the envelope icon)

Application tips
- Create the SOLAA account days before the deadline — the system lags on the final night and old accounts may need password resets
- Do not wait for references before submitting: references can upload after you submit, but they must meet the deadline
- Do not submit duplicate applications; withdraw an incorrect one before submitting a corrected version
- Note the how-to-apply page still says select year 2026 for summer 2026 — follow the current SOLAA year dropdown for summer 2027
