Arwen chose the 'Fate of Men' so as not to be seperated from Aragorn forever. When Men die their spirits 'seek elsewhither'. The spirits of the Elves are bound to Arda.

The remark from Eldarion is (essentially) correct, App. A says that Elrond's children must choose to pass with him from the circles of the world or to remain and become mortal. However in Letters JRRT clarifies that the Twins delay their choice and remain for a time (L 153), whereas Arwen made her choice at the time she wed Aragorn (in an early concept her choice was made because she wed Aragorn, but this concept changed, if you get the difference).
