does it look bad to med schools to finish your bachelor's in 5 years?

hey guys,

I'm considering a double major in poli sci and neurosci. A poster on here told me that it could take a while to finish up a double major in these two distinct areas of study, and I'm just curious: if I spread out my units over 5 years, would med schools think less of me as a candidate, even if I'm a double major?

thanks!

7 years. 2 majors (one course shy of a third), and 2 minors. Only issue I came across was explaining my low GPA due to my first few years of college.
 
Course load and grades are what most ADCOMs are interested in.

Friends of mine went to Northeastern University in Boston where students normally graduate in 5 years (freshman, sophomore, middler, junior, senior). They researched this and that's what they were told.
