Realistically I'm not sure why Aria would have so much trouble getting into college. They've made her seem academically intelligent, at least very much so in Literature/English. She took a couple college-level Arts courses at Hollis. Maybe something like Brown would be a stretch; but getting into a good school really shouldn't be that difficult.

It could be that A is messing with her. For all we know, thats why Spencer didn't get into UPenn.

I don't think that killing someone in self-defense would hinder her so long as it was decided in court that it was self defense. What would hurt her was that if someone found out that she was lying about it and covering it up afterwards. That would also imply to an outside obserer that it wasn't self-defense.

Maybe her grades slipped in the midst of all the A stuff. Or maybe she is just aiming too high. Both schools that she mentioned (Brwn and Oberlin) are pretty damn hard to get into.
