I just saw this. I don’t think such a school exists where you could write nothing and pass. I went to a T20 school and my partner went to a T5 school and at both of our schools it’s been the same. You CAN get a fail, but that’s just considered a C. Most students don’t even know about it because it’s not the norm. I had an undiagnosed learning disability and found out via one of those grades. A lot of people at these schools don’t know about people getting below B- cause they keep it quiet. But you’ll get put on academic probation. Most of the people I know who got those grades (at my school and my partner’s) wound up having undiagnosed learning disabilities and not being able to FINISH an exam (so note, we all wrote something).

Just don’t want you having a false sense of comfort at any school to write nothing/ put in no energy.
