On paper of course they look perfect but the huge amount of people against them has me skeptical. What are the main downsides to them in general and which is best if I really need one?

I'm a sophomore at an American High School and I speak fluent french. I've started preparing the entrance exam this past month since I didn't really believe I had a chance at the CMS, but I've recently checked the requirements and they're like really low. I currently pass the requirement of +80% in total and +80% in math and physics but I'm assuming getting with just this is not realistic. The hardest math and physics course I have access to is AP Calc AB and AP Physics 1. This is by far not enough for the entrance exam which is why I started working on it but like I'm fine doing 1 year of CMS if it's realistic to get in. In any case I'm still doing the entrance exam like in 2 years but IDK, is CMS a nice cushion or should I not rely on it. I haven't found any info on admission rates and percentage.
