By all rights then Ruby prodigy or not should have been sent back to Signal Academy for two more years of physical growth and emotional growth. She is physically and emotionally a 15 year old girl after all and waiting two more years to get into Beacon would not have hurt her.

 It is possible that Jaune Arc s faked transcripts did check out to investigation. All we had at first was Goodwitch feelings that something was not right. No w what Ozpin knew is a different matter entirely.

One bit of speculation is that Ozpin has some sort of ability to see who will do well as his school or needs the challenge to grow. So he bends the rules as he feels is needed. He did give team RWBY an assignment that was  way above their official eligibility.

 They are training the future defenders of the world. So years without a serious injury or a fatality during the Initiation is the exception rather then the rule. Even for some one like Pyrrha Nicos simple bad luck could get them killed. So no one would really pay serious attention to one happening.

 To be fair Jaune Arc was the last to be launched and he had more then enough time to back out and get off the launcher.
