" The reason he is here is because he wants to be. "

Can someone tell me what's wrong with that?

Why do you have reason and because in the same sentence?

Reason for something is... Because both mean the same thing!
" The reason he is here is because he wants to be. "
can be written as He is here because he wants to be.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

Cheers, vineeshp. It just sounded correct to me, guess I've gotta be careful.

It's correct in real English. On the GMAT, it's extra words.
