Again, it is practically impossible to get a decent mirrorless setup (all in) for $1,500 today.

Sony A7 with a 28mm f/2 lens, and 4 batteries (the achilles heel of mirrorless) for $1050.
Negotiate that down to $900, shoot for a year or two to see if you get the bug, and if you do...upgrade to a better body while keeping a great lens.
SLR or Mirrorless, $1500 is not going to set you up for life no matter what format you go with, so if you love photograph, you will be upgrading soon anyway (it's like trying to buy a great bike for $700 or a mechanical watch for $1K...if you love the hobby, you'll quickly realize you need more money).
So you might as well not spend a ton, but atleast spend it on a solid lens, and get something that you gets you out there shooting and learning. Regardless of your setup, the element that needs improvement the most is almost always the photographer. If you can't learn to shoot decent photos with an a7 with a 28mm, it's not the cameras fault. You can find similar deals on SLRs too if that's more your game (750 is a fine suggestion!). The point is, get whatever will get you out there. There are too many gearheads out there worrying about tech specs, and not shooting enough.
