If the math and derivations are what interest you, then go for the applied math degree and then do a master's in (theoretical) physics.

As a first course in university level EM? Maybe Ohanian, but I'm pretty sure Wangsness is graduate level

This seems to be meant to be read after a first quantum physics course

Also, if your physics background is at the JEE Advanced level, you probably won't need a basic physics book like Serway or Giancoli

Purcell/Griffiths for EM Morin for Classical Mechanics Shankar or Zweibach for QM Kittel for Thermal Physics Riley Hobson Bence for math methods David Tong's notes are also an excellent resource: https://davidtong.org/teaching/

Can you take physical chemistry? That should cover some basic thermodynamics and quantum physics. Can you take physics courses as an independent study or guided reading with a professor?

In the US, the most competitive universities practice holistic admissions, so a score beyond the 99th percentile doesn't benefit you much vs a score around the 99th percentile. What differentiates the large number of students within the 99th percentile is their extracurricular activities.

5, 5, 5, 4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 5, 4

Kevin Zhou seems to agree with you that #1 is nit picking.

I'm pretty sure the AoPS forums have a bigger collection of problems

Shouldn't peer review be catching these fraudulent citations? If it isn't, what does that suggest about the feasibility of the current peer-review based scientific model?

You made an awesome choice! Enjoy the consortium's flexibility.
