He found the fake transcripts and applied. He told his parents he applied, but not that he lied on the transcripts. They were shocked that he got in, but supported him nonetheless, not realizing the pressure he felt because they tried very hard to avoid exactly that. that would seem the most likely theory in my mind. unless, in another theory, his family has connections to Ozpin, who figured out the transcripts were fake from the start, notifies Jaunne's parents, and Jaunnes parents convince Ozpin to give Jaunne a certain amount of time to prove he really belongs there, while still letting Jaunne believe that his fake transcripts were successful. and then, in hopes of his success, his family gives him the Relic Sword that his great-great-granfather used but no one since has been able to use its power, hoping that he will be able to use it and prove he belongs at Beacon.

and a little comedic side possibility in addition to that, Jaunne unleashes his sword's power, in a duel with Cardin, defeating him to a devastating degree, and breaking his legs.
