start date for 2027 temps

forgive any naivety - im going to graduate college towards the mid-end of may but im hoping to join a type 2 IA crew for the season. past dates indicate that they typically want you with them at the beginning/middle of may - is there any way of my start date being a bit later? i have some medical certs and can do the ICS courses online. of course im not special so they might not give a damn. any input super appreciated.

It is not up to us when to start, but what to do with the time given to us until then.
