Well, the first thing you need to do before embarking on a dual doctorate program is take a couple of English classes to improve your spelling, grammar, and syntax. The second thing you need to do is determine whether or not you really need two PhDs, or if a program in physical chemistry or chemical physics would be a better fit for your career goals. One thing you did not say in your question is what you want to do with your degrees, and that's necessary information before embarking on a dual-PhD program.

If you ultimately decide that you do need two doctoral degrees, first realize that you will likely be in graduate school for a decade or more. A PhD in physics in the USA generally takes 5-8 yrs at a top-flight research institution. A PhD in chemistry can take anywhere from 3-4 years in Analytical Chemistry, 5 years in Organic or Inorganic Chemistry, and 5-7 years in Physical Chemistry. Most top universities do not offer a doctorate in general chemistry; you will have to choose a concentration relevant to your career goals. If you are a college student, I strongly recommend you pay your university's career center a visit. The counselors there will be able to help you focus your plans and choose the best graduate program.

If you have your heart set on a dual-PhD, I encourage you look into some of the better science schools in the Big Ten conference, like University of Illinois and University of Michigan. They have excellent science programs, and the Big Ten academic atmosphere is more collaborative than some of the powerhouses like Harvard, MIT, Cal Tech, and so on. You will be more likely to find 2 research advisors willing to collaborate and share your time at a less cutthroat school, which will help keep the ultimate duration of your graduate education at a manageable level. Good luck!

Cornell is the best.

Dual doctorates in physics and chemistry can be obtained in the USA more easily when spelled correctly.

dual doctorate in physics and chemistry? I would think MIT or Stanford Univ. it depends on what you want to do with the degrees.

Before you go and get any doctorate you first need to learn to spell English words correctly.
