Let's not forget Ozpin's unknown semblance, popular theories about which often include foresight, time travel, or superior intuition. The Cliffside Initiation was not, in my opinion, the entrance exam. It was just that: initiation. The entrance exam was likely a simple review of transcripts followed by a pen-and-paper exam to determine problem-solving and academic capabilities, much like any school in our own world. It is also quite likely that Ozpin is well aware of Jaune's transcript shenanigans, but saw something about Jaune that prompted him to allow the boy to stay anyway. I'm not suggesting Tall Blonde and Scraggly is The One or anything, just that Ozpin knows something about the boy's future.
