The GPA will be a bit of a drag, but everything else looks good. I like your construction experience, that’s fairly unusual for a high school applicant. I hope you hit that hard, with lots of vivid detail! If so, I like your chances.
GPA is a little low for UF but good otherwise
IMHO you have a good shot at it.
You have a good shot, make sure your essay shined through!
