As far as what you do in the gap year, do something that interests you! Definitely try to get the best work experience you can, but also make time for hobbies/passions. I do think those types of softs can lead to interesting personal statements and help you stand you.
There are schools out there that award A+s. Some schools count them differently from As, some don't. But LSAC counts an A+ as a 4.33, so you can end up with a higher LSAC GPA than your cumulative UGPA.
