Consequences of selecting an area of interest during admissions

As the titles says.
In admissions applications, usually we are asked to choose a field or area of interests. Does this increase or decrease our chances of admissions? Does it "lock us in" to that area if we are admitted?
I was under the impression that if say you chose "bio math" over "theoretical math" of obviously cannot switch after being admitted. But what if I chose algebra and decided to do numerical analysis later?
