Path to professional licensure

I’ve been diving into the requirements for getting licensed as a civil engineer and it’s quite intense! I heard that some states require specific experience hours under a licensed engineer, but I’ve also seen that some schools offer programs that might count towards this. Can anyone share their experience navigating this process? It’s a bit overwhelming figuring it all out as a recent grad.
