For some background, I'm going into my last year and a half of school at Georgia Tech as a Computer Science major.
I was recently approached by a Big Tech Silicon Valley company about pursuing a software internship opportunity there. I applied for the internship before, but was rejected before interviewing. They apparently kept some tabs on me and got in touch with me last week. The recruiter gave me a call and got to know me a bit before encouraging me to apply again in a few weeks, heavily implying that I would me moved into the interview rounds.
Like many Big Tech SV companies, they have a long and arduous interview process (8-10 weeks long) consisting of 4-5 technical interviews, plus other behavioral interviews. I obviously respect this company and would love the chance to intern there and possibly start my career there after college, but to be adequately prepared for the interview I essentially have to re-teach myself my entire degree in about 5 weeks. School is about to start, and I'm taking some pretty advanced and difficult classes this semester. I'm worried that I won't have the time to dedicate to preparing for the interviews fully, and that I'll either do poorly in classes or on the interview, both of which would result in me not getting the internship.
Now to the question. Would it be considered "rude" or would it burn any bridges to call the recruiter I've been in touch with and tell them respectfully that I won't be applying? I'm in serious doubt that I'll be able to balance both school and studying for the interviews. I'd like to respect their time and my time and prepare for the interview correctly.

Not rude at all. It would be slightly different if you'd applied in the immediate past, but as it was the recruiter who contacted you this time, you're more than entitled to say "thanks, but no thanks". Just say what you said here - that you wouldn't be able to do justice to both your degree and the interview - and no bridges will be burnt.

People turn down opportunities all the time. The recruiter isn't going to give it a moments thought. They'll move onto another candidate.
Politely decline and thank them for their time.
