Yeah, Ozpin's far, far wiser then a lot of people seem to give him credit for. There's no doubt (in my mind) that he knows Jaune's transcripts are fake, but he sees something great in him, and the later is far more important.

One of my favorite ideas is actually that Ozpin let Jaune in because his transcripts were fake. He wants to fight, to be a hero, to help people so much that he faked transcripts to one of the, if not the, best combat schools in the world. That's true dedication, and Ozpin spotted it in a second.

If Jaune had gone through combat school with everyone else and still been at the skill level he's at now, Ozpin likely would've turned him away. Ironically, it may be the fact that he faked his way in that allowed him to get in at all.
