Are there cons to a waitlist?

Applying to College

<p>I've heard about what to do to get off of a waitlist so many times but haven't heard any discussion about the actual waitlist. Are there any cons to accepting a spot on a waitlist? I know it's rare to get off and foolish to expect to get off of one, but considering I'm even before that step, I want to be sure I'm not getting screwed over by accepting multiple (2 probably) waitlist spots.</p>
