AMC/AIME Scores & Lying

On the MIT App, there’s a section that mentions that if you have taken the AIME, then to provide your score(s) for it.

A friend of mine took it, but, in his opinion, didn’t do too hot on it. He said that he will “leave it out” of his application this fall.

Is this lying? I mean, since it asks for you to put your score down if you have taken it. I’m not sure. I don’t remember exactly what the application said when I read it and I do not know much else about MIT’s application.
