Well, just like you said with Ruby, Jaune - MIGHT - have done something that got him a pass. Not necessarily killing 10 goliaths with his shoe laces, but maybe something that impressed him, which obviously wasnt be enough to officially allow Jaune to enter, but maybe Ozpin knows/realized something about him that even he himself doesn't.

And so he looked the other way when he applied with the fake transcripts.

Who knows? ( I also stand by that the initiation was not the "test", since I'd imagine that they would test people on-at-a-time, else they would end up with some people carrying others. )
