Capella is an open enrollment school, besides the technical requirements (Master's students must have a bachelor's degree from an institution accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting agency or an internationally recognized institution, your official bachelor’s transcripts, minimum grade point average of 2.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale, and $50 application fee) there is no "getting in" issue. If you qualify, you're admitted.
I also think you left off a zero when you calculated the cost. Capella is one of the more expensive grad programs out there. It's $485 per QUARTER credit. The psych master's programs are 55 to 75 credits, so you're looking at somewhere around $40,000 minimum before the costs associated with license support (which probably involves a doctorate).
If practicing with a license is your goal, I get it- there are limited schools, but if you're going to be an unlicensed provider, there are SOOOO MANY psych master's out there, that I would encourage you to keep an open mind while you finish your undergrad degree(s).
