He used fake transcripts that made him look like a capable fighter, when he has never even attended a combat school. The truth is, the moment he started talking about the fake transcripts, I immediately thought of one thing: Ozpin did it.

The idea of Jaune pulling off such a trick doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Jaune does not show anything approaching street smarts so it is hard to imagine him just happening to get some fake transcripts and it is even harder to imagine that he could manage to fool Beacon's admission staff. On the other hand, if Ozpin actually set Jaune up with the fake transcripts then it makes more sense. Of course, Jaune would not feel so guilty if he knew that, so it is safe to say Ozpin would have done it without him knowing.

My thinking here is part of a broader theory. I believe Ozpin thinks Jaune has some special role to play in the battle to come. He is not just looking favorably on certain people because of their potential, but identifying those he believes need to be at Beacon for some grander purpose. As a result he uses whatever means necessary to insure he gets them there such as by helping Jaune land some convincing transcripts. If Ozpin did it, then Jaune was just a puppet. If Jaune did it, then he's more impressive than I thought. If he did do it, then he used cunning and deception to get in. I'm going to make the guess that Jaune did it, judging by his quotes.
