colleges' views on gap years

<p>i am on a gap year currently, and applying to college for fall next year.
what do colleges expect from a person’s gap year. (what kind of productive work)
do the colleges expect a better resume and scores from gap year students than normal students as the gap ear students have more time on hand.
do they dislike students taking a year off?
are chances of gap year students and normal students the same?</p>

<p>views and experiences are welcome…</p>
