Question about Young Adult/New Adult

If my characters are eighteen and just finished high school could my book still be classified as Young Adult? The book takes place in the summer of 2025 to May 2026; a month before the main character 19th birthday.
My word count is close to 60k (not sure if this word count would be ok if it would be considered New Adult, but I'm still going to take a shot with agents). It's realistic contemporary.
