Definition
选拔 means 'to select the best candidates through a screening process' — it's used for formal, competitive selection (jobs, scholarships, teams). It's more specific than 选择 (general 'choose') or 挑选 (pick from a set), and unlike 评选 (evaluate & select) or 推选 (nominate/elect), 选拔 emphasizes a multi-stage, merit-based screening.
