I mentioned in a post below that it makes much more sense to have people send in transcripts in order to apply to the school, then they have to take the entrance exam and only the top students manage to actually enroll in Beacon, followed by the initiation that decides teams for the next for years. The initiation has 20 pieces, so 10 teams of four students, meaning a minimum of 40 students if everyone passed.

As far as Blake goes, she mentions that if you don't learn to fight you don't survive and considering she passed his test with flying colors, she obviously learned to survive. I don't feel this is directed at the initiation, as despite her passing with flying colors she didn't really do much aside from kill an Ursa and hold a ribbon for Ruby's slingshot. I feel like this was for her entrance exam, which she took for just the chance to take part in the initiation.

With Jaune, Ozpin's main goal is to raise the world's best Hunters. Considering Jaune's family history and Ozpin's string of connections, it is possible he knew Jaune had potential waiting to be unlocked and supplied Jaune with the papers himself. Jaune can barely tie his shoelaces without help so you have to wonder how he managed to find fake transcripts and successfully fill them out without being detected by the person reading them.

As I said somewhere, faking transcripts is very difficult. Most colleges in our world require one copy from you and another from the school itself, as well as a seal to make it official. With the level of technology in the show, I can imagine it is even more difficult to fake something like that. Even if Jaune claimed he was home schooled, he would still need to show some proof that he has all the required skills to even apply to Beacon.
