This list covers admissions deadlines for domestic public policy programs. Responses on applications should come back within 1 to 3 months depending on the school (this varies widely.) If the schools provide a priority date (or early deadline), we’ve put it in the chart. Spring deadlines are included for the schools that posted them for their programs that begin in the spring. Note: Be sure to verify dates on school websites as dates sometimes change (we are human and so are the administrators.)
Occasionally schools will adjust deadlines, so here are a few notes to clarify: *The Johns Hopkins University (SAIS) dates in the chart are for the Master of International Public Policy (MIPP) program. They also offer a Master of Arts in Global Public Policy (GPP). The regular application date for GPP is Feb 1. Please note the spring admissions deadline for MIPP has been extended to November 1.

Good News! We’re still accepting materials for editing with a quick turnaround for December 1–15 deadlines.
Important: The final deadline to submit materials is Tuesday, November 29, at 9 PM CT.
I think the posted deadlines for McCourt should say Jan. 15 2017 and April 1, 2017, for Early Action and Regular Deadline, respectively.
As of right now, the table says that for Early Action Deadline (Entering Fall 2017) you should have applied by Jan. 15 2016 and for the Regular Deadline (Entering Fall 2017) you should have applied by April 1, 2016.
Let me know if I have made a mistake with the information.
Thanks!
