I keep hearing about an unknown policy that D\ F and GPA below 3.0 in senior year get rescinded but I have never seen a written policy from any UCs let alone UCSD. I would appreciate if someone can attach a link to a written policy.

My point is UCSD has many applicants that accept through SIR - more then what they can accept. Since they have to trim down from the pool this is an opportunity for them to weed out those who are slacking off in their senior year and this is likely to include those with D, F and GPA<3.0. Since there is no written policy, what stops them from weeding out candidates with a C or 2 Cs or what ever combination it may be. The goal for any UC is to finally limit to the best candidates possible when everything is over.

I would really like someone to explain how this has worked in the past - Perhaps that is all we can go by for now.
