Depends on how bad you need to have the absolute latest model. Currently there are some great deals to be had. I recently purchased the current model and have zero regrets. I saved over 300 bucks off of Apple's "sticker price" and know I got a great machine. Plus even if you wait, a few months after you get yours a new one will come out and then you are back to square one.
What are the likely rumored features of the new MBP?
My 2008 MBP just flat out died, and so I was given a T61 as a replacement, but its still an ancient 2008 machine. I'm close to wanting to buy a machine, but I think I can wait a bit more.
I do have a work laptop cir. 2012, but I'm struggling to survive with these laptops.
Want to buy but also am willing to wait. I just want to make sure the wait is worth it
Personally, I'd wait until August to finally take the plunge, but I don't expect any spec bump in the MBP line and clearly Broadwell won't be ready until late Q4 so there's no reason why you should wait for that - given your school needs.
I forgot about that, yes see if your state has a tax free weekend. I'm lucky, I'm about 30 minutes away from an Apple store in New Hampshire where there is no sales taxes - Every weekend is tax free weekend if I wanted it to be

No one really knows what's going to happen but bottom line is the current macbook pros are pretty awesome. There is no reason not to buy something that you need.
If you have something now to use then sure wait and see what happens. If you need it then waiting isn't worth it. Just buy it.
