Why deny someone who passes their entrance requirements a chance to run Initiation when they want as many Huntsmen as they can get? Why spend the time forcing people to run Initiation again just so one person they initially rejected can have a go?

The only reason a person would be denied the chance to run Initiation is if they fail to meet the entrance requirements, in which case allowing them to run it just because another team is missing a student is silly because all you're doing is setting them up to be killed. It's why Jaune had to get fake transcripts; he wouldn't pass the entrance requirements otherwise. well... there are a few obvious reasons to reject someone early that you may decide to accept later... look at Ruby: Acceptef 2 years early by witnessed merit.

in other words, the following are just a few reasons a person may be accepted later;


 * They are too young and not yet experienced enough at combat to reliably survive the Initiation as the year starts.


 * They are prodigies but not enough so to warrant early admittance.


 * they are injured.


 * they submit their entrance paperwork too late to be considered.
