In Mark, Jesus saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. James and John, sons of Zeberdee, were the next disciples to be chosen. Mark chapter 3 has Jesus formally choose the twelve from those who followed him.

In Matthew, Jesus once again saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. James and John, sons of Zeberdee, were the next disciples to be chosen. Matthew has Jesus call Matthew the tax-collector.

In Luke, Jesus met Simon Peter in his mother's house, but did not call him at that stage. Later, he helped some fishermen in a boat - James and John, sons of Zebedee, and Simon. Jesus told Simon that he would follow Jesus, so the three left their boat and followed Jesus. It was some time later that Jesus actually chose the remainder of his disciples, including Andrew, brother of Peter, but not necessarily in any order.

In John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. John told him and another disciple to follow Jesus. Later, Andrew fetched his brother Simon, who joined the other disciples. John does not mention all the disciples and provides least information as to when the author believed them to have been chosen.

Is it true or false that the disciples were chosen to be the aposles?

The word "apostle" comes from a Greek term meaning "sent forth" or "messenger" (the word "angel" comes from a different Greek word meaning "messenger").So, it's kind of false. The disciples were chosen to be disciples. It may be presumed that the ultimate plan was to make them all "messengers" ... bearers of the euangelion (in English, "good news") ... but they weren't chosen first to be disciples and then later chosen separately to be messengers, and by some amazing coincidence it just happened to be a bunch of the same guys. The word "apostle" is used for many early Christian teachers, not just the disciples.
