I personally think that Ozpin knew the transcripts were fake, but since Jaune could have some skills to become a Hunter, he decided to let him in without doing that entrance exam.

If Jaune survives the Initiation, then despite the fake transcripts, he has some talent to become a Hunter and with training could become a good Hunter.

If Jaune doesn't survive, it's clear the transcripts were lying and Jaune was not going to be a good Hunter anyway.

However, this hypothesis means that Ozpin wouldn't mind at all sending a young person to his very likely death, and based on what he said in Vol.2 Ep.2, I think I'm wrong. It's good fanfic material though, depending on how it's done, although I think it's already been done.
