PwC Deferred Start Date for Gap Year

To anyone who has gone through the full-time application process for PwC Consulting, especially those who also did an internship with PwC:

Does PwC allow you to delay your start date, and still keep your position? For example, they have two start dates, one in August, and one in February. I want to travel around a bit after graduation, doing a type of gap year, so ideally I would graduate in May 2016 and start either in February 2017 or August 2017. Has anyone who's worked for PwC done this before? If so, how flexible/accommodating are they?

Thanks
