I want to buy an iPad 3 for med school and don't know if i should just wait, because my need isn't urgent, or i should go ahead and buy?

i would want one the same size as the current iPad though.

What should I do?

If you need it now go ahead and buy it, otherwise, you can wait until next March when the next one will likely be released.

There are no known rumors about next years model at this time.

You can always check our Buyers Guide for guidance on purchases too.
 
Yeah i checked buyers guide... it says iPad is in mid cycle which means 100% neutral

if the next one isn't coming out until march, i will probably go ahead and buy

and chance for a fall/holiday season release though? in your opinion of course
 
Any rumors on the next regular sized iPad?

Yup, it's going to be called the New iPad 4th Gen and it will probably have better specs and come with iOS 7.

If you have the money now and can't wait get an iPad 3. If you can hold off wait till next Spring.

It will be able to run iOS 7, but it won't come with it. The 3rd gen iPad will also be able to run iOS 7.
