First, I want to say that chose (middle vowel "O") is the past tense of choose (middl\e vowel U)' There is no difference in meaning between choose and select, the meanings are the same.Why does English have two different words with the same meaning? It is because the word "choose" comes from Old English word "ceosan" spoken by the Anglo Saxons who invaded England in 449 AD and select comes from Latin word seligere pp selectus.English has words from several different languages.

"Choose" and 'select' can be used interchangeably in many cases, but not all. 'Select' usually implies a less emotional, more careful choice. The possibility is usually between a smaller number of possibilities. You could choose between two friends, but you wouldn't select a friend. You select a button on your mouse, but you wouldn't choose it. You could choose or select a book from a shelf. It would usually be to select, but choose is acceptable. I can select a candidate from a list of candidates for a job. 'Select' here implies an objective choice. You are not selecting a friend.

Chose is to selected as choose is to select.
