Time to Accept Offer

Suppose you have onsites with Optiver and SIG for trading internships. You'll probably interview with them in the next two weeks. You have first round phone interviews with DRW and DE Shaw next week. There are companies you're interested in and haven't heard back from, but you're probably more interested in these four. If you get Optiver/SIG, is asking for three weeks to decide reasonable? Is four weeks pushing it?
