If you access to a hall, have some good clarinet friends/teachers in the seats, and have multiple clarinets to try out... that's where I would start.

Form an opinion on your own for each clarinet. Does it produce a sound that will carry in your mind or does it lack that strength. Try to do it blindfolded in order not to be biased. Compare your results with your advisors. Lean on the advisors since they are giving you their perspective both as clarinetists and listeners in the audience.

You'll never know. So don't figure on not needing projection-you just might have that important solo that needs to cut through an orchestra.
