The adjective "brilliant" seems to suggest something that anyone would notice in an instant.
I tend to think of 11-12 as an appropriate IQ range for a typical college student: enough raw intelligence to do the work, enough Will to keep at it, and enough general knowledge to reflect taking general education courses, roughly. But I would expect someone "brilliant" to stand out among such people.

11 - Best in the classroom.
12 - Best in the school.
13 - Best in the city.
14 - Best in the country.
15 - Best in the world.
