Well it depends. In order to not be considered a dependent of your parents, you would have had to provide over half of your own support for the year. If you have, that would exclude you from being considered a dependent. If you did not provide over half of your own support for the year (if your parents helped with a down payment on your house or if they provided most of your support up until August) then they would still be able to claim you as a dependent on their return.
Also, just because someone can claim you doesn't mean they have to claim you. However, if they can claim you, it does exclude you from taking certain credits that someone that cannot be claimed as a dependent can take.
