well if Jaune hadnt used the fake transcripts to get accepted far enough to actually go to beacon, he would have been denied and wouldnt have even gotten to the airship. or the initiation.

So therefore I'm thinking that they will only accept people who are actually capable (as far as they know) of surviving the initiation process. I dont know if it would be different for students applying for like strategy-only lessons and non-combat things.
