Just an FYI, there are people who were selected for OCS as SNA's over a year and a half ago who still haven't shipped due to the backlog of students here in Pensacola... The fact you were selected and have a chance to go now is a blessing. If you turn it down now, who knows when or even if you'll get another chance to go.

Rescinding selection for SNA?

Hey @Chilledlivin make sure you tell us which route you take. I’ll remind you that OCS and naval aviation are incredibly rare opportunities and that education, like an additional degree, is always an available option (to include some great navy programs) throughout your life. Do it, and you won’t regret the choice.
Just to dogpile. Go to OCS. This is a no brainer. Even after four pages I'm having a very difficult time understanding what the hold up is.
The only second bachelors worth its salt is if you get a PPE from Oxford as a Rhodes or Marshall scholar. That is a very niche circumstance and the value isn't in the degree.

Now I'm curious to see what OP decides to do...

Just to update you all, I asked to be rolled out until after graduation. If it's accepted, then there is no worries whatsoever. If not, then I am in the same situation.
I also learned that my recruiter put the wrong OCS availability date on my APSR which is how this happened originally.

Thanks for the update. Personally, I think you’ve made a mistake but the good news is that many mistakes are recoverable. If you are fortunate with this one you’ll be the guy in flight school with two degrees (maybe your call sign can be “Dung” for B.S./B.S. - not too shabby ?). If, however, they say thanks but no thanks then you get to be the guy with two degrees qualified for one high school teacher position. Still a noble outcome.
I hope option one works out for you.

So….it’s the 23rd, what’d you do?
He decided to earn that extra degree and asked to be rolled to another class. I doubt we’ll hear “the rest of the story.”
