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.

UCSB CCS students have pretty good access to research opportunities as well - there are only a few dozen CCS physics students at UCSB. I would personally choose UCSB.

What do the finances look like? How much does each option cost? Which larger projects and subfields would UCSB give you access to that Harvey Mudd wouldn't?

Chemistry: A Self-Teaching Guide (this is more on the high school level) https://www.chemistry.msu.edu/clue/general-chemistry.aspx - the textbook is very text-heavy and only around 200 pages

There certainly are advantages to using computers to manage things like spaced repetition schedules for individual pieces of knowledge, which is what Anki does

Find people from Malaysia with a physics background who are working with semiconductors in Malaysia and then reach out with your question about physics as a potential entry option vs ee

Have you looked at MIMOS? E.g. https://www.mimos.my/researcher/ You could also research the new semiconductor IC park. That being said, the best option from a career perspective would most likely be electrical engineering. Still, you could try to reach out to Malaysian individuals in the field...

Look for external resources, e.g. David Tong's notes or MIT courses. If those make it clearer, then it's not on you. Just remember to do some problems as well.
