$(document).ready(function(){
 var valuePassed=$.url().param('status');

 $('#select').val(valuePassed);

});

or with vannila javascript helper function explained in How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

function getParameterByName(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
    var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
        results = regex.exec(location.search);
    return results == null ? "" : 
                 decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}

$(document).ready(function(){
  var valuePassed=getParameterByName('status');

  $('#select').val(valuePassed);

});
