“It’s seems like it would dilute your chances since you are competing against many more applicants for even fewer spots.”

Sort of. Obviously to be deferred from ED means Brown sees something interesting. This is much better than the vast majority of RD applications.

Yes there will be plenty of interesting RD applicants but the deferred group has passed several hurdles – which will trip up many in the RD pool. Ultimately, it’s of no use to gauge the relative chances, however.
