She had to choose because she was Halfelf like her father. She chose a mortal life because she wanted to be with Aragorn who’d eventually die and she couldn’t bear that loss’s pain for eternity.
I see so she didn’t technically have to choose mortality. It’s been a while since I’ve read the books, but I’m guessing movie Elrond misled me into thinking that way.

Movie elrond misled in a lot of ways, such as telling the audience that Aragorn was hesitant to become king.
They are still awesome movies :)
