I filed my taxes thinking my Dad could claim me as a dependent. I made $300 too much for that to happen. Do I need to file an amended return?

You might not have to. If you are saying that you  made $4350 in wages, you wouldn't owe any tax on that whether you claimed your own exemption or not.  

If you mean something else, you'd need to check to see if claiming your own exemption would result in a refund. Then it would be up to you whether you want to amend your return or not. You can not claim your own exemption if somebody else can claim you, but you aren't required to claim an exemption for yourself.
