How many "areas of interest" should I put?

On the Common App, under the Academics section of the Rice application, it says to “Select any areas of interest, including areas outside the school to which you are applying.” Does this mean just anything that intrigues me, or only potential majors? What did you guys do?

Any means any. Rice has distribution requirements which require a student to take some classes across the various schools in the university. You will be taking classes in many areas, so it doesn’t hurt to show what interests you. Rice does not require students to declare a major until the end of sophomore year. https://ga.rice.edu/undergraduate-students/academic-policies-procedures/graduation-requirements/
