Is a two week internship too short?

I'm currently in the middle of a VC internship which is to last 1 month with the option to extend to 6 or 8 weeks.

I am currently considering reducing my internship to two weeks. For the following reasons: -I need time to focus on my GRE for my masters -If i do a masters after undergrad that would hold more weight than undergrad internships for jobs -I already have two undergrad interneships under my belt, one already being VC -I plan on finishing the Wall Street Prep course if I end my interneship early -Alright the last reason is kinda lame but it'll probably be my last free summer and I kind of want to enjoy it and recuperate for next year (engineering is draining)

I am just wondering if doing this would disadvantage me for masters or anything else later on? Is two weeks way too short? I plan on doing a masters in finance or financial engineering.
