As the second most successful state at Miss USA, South Carolina never fails to send great contenders.  They are not disappointing anyone this year with Rachel Law.  This gorgeous woman could be the next Miss USA. 

Rachel is 21 years old and a Communication major at Furman University.  She's from Greenville and The Social Chairperson of Furman University's Kappa Delta Sorority.  Rachel loves international travel, recently returning from a tour of many European nations. Her free time is spent traveling with family and friends, she is an avid reader, and enjoys jewelry design and construction.

She tried her luck 3 times at the state teen level but never won the title.  Wouldn't you know it, this is her first shot at the miss level and she won it!
