An online contest to find the "smartest, silliest, and sexiest" male freshmen at campuses across the country has left some Wellesley College students feeling misrepresented, leading the website to revamp the competition to address the concerns of the all-women school.

HerCampus.com, an online lifestyle magazine geared toward college-aged women, started "Mr. Campus Freshman 2013," with the goal of crowning a male from over 20 colleges represented by the website.

But to the dismay of many on campus, Wellesley College students were advised to nominate a male from outside the school, ignoring students at their campusl who are transgender.
