But they’re wrong — because if students approach the waitlist process correctly, they have a genuine shot of earning admission. To concede defeat after being waitlisted is tantamount to taking a knee at the one-yard line.

( Note: 28% is not a “safety school.”) These students are likely falling prey to optimism bias. And if this sounds like you, then we’d highly recommend building a more balanced list, and adding one or two actual “safety schools” to give yourself some peace of mind.
