Except that they'd still only be 18, it's been more than a year, but less than two. Ruby turned 16 during her second semester, only a couple of months into the show, while WBY were still (known at the time) 17. WBY and JNR would've turned 18 at some point between Volumes 3 and 5. We don't know the season of their first semester at Beacon, so for all intents and purposes, we simply know they were 17 before the fall of Volume 3, and would be 18 before the fall of Volume 6. If we do learn what the season that their first semester occurred, it would be a huge help, but for now, all we have is a vague "before fall", that's it. Furthermore, while there is a bit of time desynchronization between the RWBY and Cinder/Neo plot line, the furthest we can go is the first two weeks of November at this point, still in fall.
