A lot of people have already told their version of Jaune admitting what he did, but here's my take anyway:

(Jaune takes a deep breath, then knocks on the door of the headmaster's office)

Ozpin: "Door's open."

(Jaune walks in to see Ozpin, desk full of papers and clearly busy...and of course, Glynda is there as well.)

Jaune: "I apologize for the interruption...but it's urgent."

Glynda: "Make it quick, boy."

(Ozpin sits silently)

Jaune: "Sir, I...(another deep breath)...I forged my transcript to get into Beacon."

(Ozpin is unfazed; Glynda is looking rather sour)

Jaune: "I just wanted this so badly...to carry on the legacy of my family...and I...I didn't know what else to do."

(Ozpin sips his coffee; Glynda continues to stare daggers)

Jaune: "So...I guess this means I'm expelled?"

Glynda: "Absolutely."

Ozpin: "Not."

Glynda: "...I beg your pardon?!"

Ozpin (to Jaune): "When I said on the first day that teams would rise and fall together, I meant it. Expelling you would mean expelling your teammates as well. And that would not be fair to them."

Jaune (clearly feeling ill at this revelation): "...well...when you put it that way..."

Ozpin: "You owe a great deal of responsibility to your team, Mister Arc, especially now. Their success at Beacon, and yours, are one and the same. That you have chosen to be honest about your transcript is a good start...but you have a very long way to go before you can consider yourself redeemed."

Jaune: "...I...I think I understand, sir."

Glynda (walks over to Jaune): "Don't think for a minute you're getting off easy, Mister Arc. If you thought I was hard on you before, you don't know the half of it. Were it up to me, you would be expelled...*side glances to Ozpin*...or at the very least have your position as leader revoked?"

Ozpin: "No." (continues to sip coffee)

Glynda (clearly fuming now): "...Well, aren't you lucky. To tell the truth, Mister Arc, I don't know why the headmaster even made you leader of your team in the first place." (walks back to Ozpin's desk)

Jaune stands there for a second, thinking, then asks: "Professor Ozpin?...Why did you make me leader of JNPR? I'm a terrible fighter, academically clueless; I lack the most basic of skills that you would expect from a...worthy student..."

Ozpin (once again sipping his coffee): "...and in spite of all of that, you effortlessly coordinated your team against one of the most vicious Grimm in existence, and emerged victorious."

(Jaune stands there, stunned)

Ozpin: "You have enormous potential, Mister Arc. You need only realize it."

Jaune: "...Thank you, sir. I'll see to it you don't regret your decision."

Ozpin: "Good. You're dismissed."

(Jaune walks out of the office, his head just a bit higher)

Glynda (as door closes): "Just for the record, Professor Ozpin: I am not happy about this."

Ozpin: "Noted." And right here, some A quality writing for the show :D

You see, THIS is how you do rushed well. By time length, this conversation is less than a minute, minute and a half long.

Monty should take notes :P
