To clarify- if I went straight OCS out the gate and then put in a packet for SFAS, like any other 1st LT, I would not get selected because of age/ lack of experience, is that correct?

Not saying you would not make it, because of your age what I am saying is you have disadvantage vs your younger Officer Peers you would be 35 going into the 18A course. You would also get a lot of questions from Senior Officers of why you waited so long. Just be prepared for that. (you don't know what you don't know)

I was 31 when i graduated in 2002 and I think the oldest I have ever seen was 43 enlisted dude but this was at the high end of recruiting drives to bolster our numbers in 2007.

Do what Box said put the paperwork in for a Waiver they can only say No.
