applied math and applied phy are more like a continuation of math and phy that you learn in high school, lots of teaching with examples, lots of problem solving. Math and physics in the college is proof based. There are pretty smart kids in both lots, so decide how you want to learn the science, and what you want to do in the long run. If you like practical sciences and their implementation, apply to seas, if you like studying the pure stuff and want to go on to grad school in physics, do college. If you are unsure about physics altogether and are leaning towards social sciences apply college.
