Am I Dependent?

I'm 23 and my parents have been able to claim me as dependent in the past because I've always been a fulltime student. However, I graduated last Spring and was therefore only a fulltime student for 4 months out of the year. I did take one class in the Fall, but I was less than halftime. I still live with my parents and they support me, but I also make more than the $4,050/Yr. that would allow them to claim me as a dependent relative. Can my parents still claim me as dependent or do I have to file as independent?
