How many emails for it to get annoying?

Some analysts I’d already talked to before said they’d get back to me next week after I reached out to talk about the upcoming internship. They didn’t follow up after a week, so I emailed again, politely seeing if they had any time. No response. I know they’re probably extremely busy, so would it be annoying to email them one more time? Should I just give up to avoid being a pest?

Best advice i can give you on this is to try judge the analyst's character.

But given this can be very challenging, I would encourage you to play it safe - if youve already sent a follow-up email, don't send another one. Being labelled a 'pest' before starting, rightly or wrongly, won't set you up well I'm afraid. If its an upcoming internship, you can't really have any burning questions that need an analyst to answer and if its logistics-based queries, the last thing an analyst wants to do is explain them to you - contact HR. If its to build a rapport, then its better to wait and do that once you start.
