so I am a sophomore computer science major who has recently been applying to a lot of internships through web applications. While I have received a few responses, a lot of companies never got back to me.

Should I send an email to follow up? Is there a certain amount of days you should wait before "calling back"?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

While unfortunate, it's fairly normal for companies not to respond unless they are interested. The better ones at least acknowledge receipt of your application - even if it's just an automated form response.

It's likely unnecessary, but you can follow up if you prefer. Always wait at least one week. Don't follow up repeatedly - that would just be nagging.
