Everyone I talked to got the idea he got into Beacon in some way other then the regular means the minute Glynda mentioned his transcript. She mentions that he clearly wasn't ready for the level of combat in the woods, no matter what his transcript said and this becomes even clearer when Cardin just toys with him. Also the fact that he had to have his Aura unlocked means that he probably never attended a combat school in his life (backed up by his weapons, which are old). His goofy awkwardness just didn't fit with everyone else and it made it pretty easy to figure out in plenty of time before the reveal.
