I'm re-watching the first season, and I still don't like the whole "fake transcript" thing. It makes very little sense that Jaune really wants to be a hunter/warrior but never went to combat school, and has practically no training. What would've made a lot more sense is if he just didn't excel at those earlier stages, but because of his family's expectations and connections, they were able to get him into Beacon (and lets say his family had a history there too.)  That wouuld've made so much more sense, since it would've jived with his personality more, in that he felt out of place there, and that he feels all this pressure to live up to his family's legacy. If he feels so much pressure to live up to his family's legacy, then I imagine he would've at least gone to combat school and tried to some degree. And not just done nothing, but then all of the sudden decides that he wants to go the most prestigious school so much that he'll commit fraud, despite knowing that he'll be completely ill-fitting when he gets there. And how would his family think he got in when they must know he didn't go to combat school and isn't skilled enough to get into Beacon? Admittedly, the whole "family connections got him in" thing would've made it harder for the blackmale angle with Cardin, but I feel like Jaune's backstory making more sense is more important.
