ok i want to be a doctor i always have but i messed up in high school so now i have decided to go to CC first. my friend who just GOT in to MED school advised me to do as he did and do a double major in science. he did biochemistry and chemistry. i dont like chemistry much. i am ok at it but i love biology. so he advised me to major in biology and microbiology. would that help me get a high score on MCATS? he got near perfect score.

This is not a decision you have to make now. I would say at this point just take General Chemistry and General Biology along with general education courses at the community college and concentrate on making good grades. After you have completed these courses you will have a better idea of what you would like to major in - Biology or something like English or History.
It is true that the more science you have, the better chance you will have on the MCAT but medical schools do not require that you major in a science. In fact, they are pleased when a candidate for med school has a broad liberal arts education in addition to the pre-med requirements.
I wish you well at the community college. It is really important that almost all of your grades are A.

if you were still able to finish in four years then it could be a good idea, but if it takes longer than 4 then it would cost a lost of money
